Emeka Ike The New AGN President, has disclosed that he’s not happy that his rival, Ibinabo Fiberesima has
been sentenced to jail despite the fact that he has always told people
the AGN seat wasn’t fit for her because she had a criminal case in
court.
Reacting to the allegation that his emergence as the new president of Actors Guild of Nigeria is as a result of Ibinabo‘s
predicament, Emeka Ike told Saturday Beats,’ My victory at the court
has nothing to do with Ibinabo’s predicament. How can I be happy that
Ibinabo has been sentenced to jail? I feel very bad. The people saying
that I am happy about the sentence are actually Ibinabo’s enemies.
‘This
is a lady that was used because of the powers she could garner and
control. Some people were using her and now that they have messed her
up, they are still using her in prison. Ibinabo would never say that
Emeka Ike sent her to jail, it is impossible because she knows why she
is there. What I was only telling Nigerians is that people of Ibinabo’s
status do not contest for any public office. Should we stop telling the
truth? She had a criminal issue in court. Let’s leave sentiments, we
have to be realistic.’
Speaking
on what got her into trouble, the ‘Dercico’ actor said,’I cannot be
happy about her predicament because it is rather unfortunate that she is
surrounded by the wrong people and advisers; she was surrounded by
sycophants. Instead of them to tell her how to solve her problem, they
were pushing her to jail and now that she is in jail, they will not
leave her alone. Why did they not advise her to form a team and go to
Giwa’s family house and roll on the floor for forgiveness?
‘They
could have sent her away for days but they would not send her away
forever. We are a cultural people, I am sure that after going
repeatedly, an elder in the family would plead on her behalf and say
something like, ‘our son is dead and nothing can bring him back, let us
just forgive her.’ She should have been very remorseful but she wasn’t.
We told Nigerians that some of us would not agree but they began to call
us names because we took the matter to court.’

Ibinabo was stripped of AGN presidency after a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos ruled on March 23, 2016 that Ike should now take the rein of power following a long legal battle.
