Exclusively, Nollywood actress, Clarion Chukwurah who utters a statement few weeks back criticizing the AGN (Actors Guild of Nigeria) president, Ibinabo Fiberisima's action has again lash-out at the AGN president and also unveil her mission to run for AGN president after Obinabo's tenure ends; in a recent interview she had with TheNetng.
"I would rather score her zero because I cannot see what it is she has achieved. I want to know what specifically she has done that has moved the actors forward in areas like their pay, health, and other vital concerns about their jobs. Nothing tangible has been achieved on the issue of their welfare or working condition. It is commendable that she secured n appointment to see the President on behalf of the guild but that opportunity was sacrificed on the alter of selfish interest and myopic objectives which has for a while now heightened the selfish interest and corruption practiced in the state chapter levels. The number of burial ceremonies organized during her tenure made me wonder what would have been the case if she had put in place a good health scheme with an insurance company which would have been subsidized for the actors".
clarion still went on to disclose her intention to run for AGN president and what she will likely do if voted into office.
"Yes I have seen that the fact that people like me are not doing anything to steer this group in the right direction is solely responsible for mediocre and selfish driven people being at the helm of affairs. I do know Ibinabo's tenure would end in September. I intend to run for President of AGN because it is time that veterans and hardcore professionals learned in every aspect of the business should put the experience and information to use to move the AGN forward.The first thing I intend doing is to bring together experienced actors who are trained lawyers like Tunji Bamishigbin, Wale Adebayo, Richard Mofe Damijo, Funke Akindele and a couple of others, to sit down and look at the issue of legislation, put together a bill to the National Assembly and drive it at the level of the Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives.
