The National Secretary, Actors Guild of Nigeria
(AGN), Femi Durojaiye, has asked Ibinabo Fiberesima-Egbuka, to obey a court
order and relinquish the position of President of the body to Nollywood actor,
Emeke Ike.
A
statement issued on Thursday in Lagos by Durojaiye said that Fiberesima-Egbuka
should step down as the president while Emeka Ike takes over.
It would be recalled that Ike and
Fiberesima-Egbuka had been involved in a feud over who should occupy the
position of the president of the AGN.
The statement read: “The Federal High Court
sitting in Lagos at the application and argument of counsel to the Actors Guild
of Nigeria, Mr Peter Andor Oboyi, struck out Ibinabo and the Board of Trustees’
(BoT) suit challenging the nullification of her election.
“The
implication of this judgment is that the Emeka Ike- led executive council
remains the only authentic and lawful leaders of Actors Guild of Nigeria.
“The
Honourable Court vehemently reiterated the position of the judicial authority
that, Ibinabo Fiberesima-Egbuka, her purported executive council members and
the Board of Trustees (BoT) vacate forthwith the office of AGN both at the
National and State levels.
“Accordingly, they should surrender all AGN
assets in their possessions to the incumbent, Emeka Ike’s Government.’’
