Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) president, Emeka Rollas is in hot soup.
Actors from Northern Nigeria are threatening him that they will split from the association if the appointment of Senator Elisha Abbo as the patron is withdrawn.
Jimi Lot, Chairman of the Adamawa State Chapter of AGN said;
“Senator Abbo was appointed because of his philanthropic nature in the North. He is not guilty of assault until proven so by the court.”
“The senator has apologised for his actions and hence should not be held down and denied appointment from the AGN.”
“If the guild yields to pressure and withdraws Abbo’s appointment, the Northern actors will leave the association and form a new one.”
“Even Jesus forgives so why wouldn’t Nigerians accept Senator Abbo’s apologies and forgive him over the assault.”
“The guild is not going to withdraw the appointment. We the northern actors will not agree on this and will not take this if the guild tries to do otherwise.”
“If they attempt to do that, we are going to secede. The northern actors will break up from the guild and form our own in the North, since our choice cannot be respected.”
