The President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Ibinabo Fiberesima, has fired back at comedy actor, John Okafor, popularly known as Mr. Ibu, who recently said Ibinabo is not fit to lead the guild.

Mr. Ibu had reportedly queried what the executive of the Guild did with the money promised by President Jonathan and other state governments.

But reacting to the query, Ibinabo, in a telephone interview with Saturday Beats, said she didn’t go to collect money from the President “as Mr. Ibu is used to doing.”

“Which money is he talking about? That is why I said he is detached from the realities on ground. When we went to visit the President, there was no money promised to anybody. We didn’t go there to beg for money as Mr. Ibu is used to doing; we didn’t do that. They push you to the extent that you say things that you don’t want to. I’m not about money, for once they should stop and think, see what my team and I have achieved in two years.”

The ex-beauty queen said Okafor was not in a position to criticise her moves as he was not a member of the Guild.

“Replying Mr. Ibu would be trading intelligence with ignorance and I don’t think I have that time. I’m sure you have followed everything we have done and we have not hidden anything. Rather, we have been open about everything we have done, so if he attacks me the way he did, it clearly shows that he is completely detached from the reality, because he complained about things that we have achieved long ago, which shows that he is not part of the Guild,” she said.

Okafor had earlier in the month reportedly accused the incumbent president of trying to force herself on the Guild, saying most of the members of AGN do not want her for a second term.

In her reaction, she queried why Okafor refused to mention the names of the members whom he said were tired of her and that she wondered why he was just expressing his grievances towards their election.

Fiberesima said, “Mr. Ibu cannot vote for me, he does not have the power to do that. He cannot even run for office because he is not a member, and I was expecting to see the names of the members whom he referred to because I don’t know them, and I hope they are members of the Guild because we have actors who are not members.

“You should not because of your interest in a name feel you can come out and talk off point to become relevant. When people say people should have education, it is for this kind of reason so they will know how to speak in public.

“They think running to the press and running me down on Facebook and others will deter me. No. I was not brought up like that, I’m a very thorough breed. I will do what I have to do to get to where I am going. It is the love that I get from people whose lives I have touched that keeps me going, not those who don’t know where they are going, because every sentence they make is money, where is the money?”
