President of the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria, AGN, Ibinabo Fiberesima-Egbuka has been ordered to vacate the exalted office of the AGN and hand over to Nollywood actor, Emeke Ike.
In a statement issued on Wednesday by the National Secretary of AGN, Femi Durojaiye, the actress will step down as the president and Emeka Ike, who has been battling over the position with Ibinabo, will take over as the president.
It would be recalled that Emeka Ike and Ibinabo have allegedly been feuding over the position of president of the Actor’s Guild and Ike had consistently accused the actress of impersonating him by her claim to the presidency of the body.
The statement read: “The Federal High Court sitting in Lagos at the application and argument of Counsel to Actors Guild of Nigeria, Barr. Peter Andor Oboyi, struck out Ibinabo’s and Board of Trustees, BoT suit challenging the nullification of her election to the Presidency of AGN and also challenging the legitimacy of the Presidency of Emeka Ike and his exco.
“The implication of this judgment is that Engr. Emeka Ike led exco 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, her purported exco members and the Board of Trustees vacate forthwith the office of AGN both at the National and State level.
“Accordingly, also surrender all AGN assets at their unlawful possession to the incumbent Engr Emeka Ike’s Government,” the statement added.
