Clarion ChukwuraNollywood
diva, Clarion Chukwura speaking in an interview on Wednesday, described
the recent visit to the President Goodluck Jonathan, by President of
the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Ibinabo fiberesima, as uncalled for.
According
to Chukwura, AGN is the guild that represents the English movie
industry actors and not Association of Nigerian Theartre Arts
Practitioners ANTAP, or Kannywood.
“Ibinabo's request for a
secretariat or an office in Abuja is out rightly out of her office. That
means that she does not know what her office is,” the mother of
Clarence Peters said in the interview.
The Nollywood actress
advised that instead of stressing themselves, ‘they should sit on a
round table to agree on a conference that will unify this association
into one body rather than this fragmentation.’
‘AGN, should concentrate on the welfare of the actors rather than unnecessary issues,’ she added.
Meanwhile,
effort by Nigeriafilms.com to speak with Ibinabo on this matter was
unsuccessful as her phone number was not going through when we tried
calling her. However, an officer of the Guild, who begged anonymity
because he was not authorised to speak to us, claimed Clarion is not a
card carrying member of AGN.
The source further alleged that
Clarion is bitter because Ibinabo did not invite her for the visit to
President Goodluck Jonathan some weeks ago. 'If she was on the delegate
to Aso Rock, would she have said what she is saying? Clarion is even not
a card carrying member of AGN. Let her go and sit down and stop making
noise about,' the source said.
