The Actors’ Guild of Nigeria has stated that the Nollywood stars who met with presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, didn’t represent the interest of the guild.

This was contained in a statement signed by the AGN National Task force chairman, McSmith Ochendo, on Wednesday.

In a video that went viral in November 2021, Tinubu was seen in the company of some actors like John Okafor (Mr Ibu), Foluke Daramola, and Harry B Anyanwu during his campaign event.

After the video, it was speculated on social media that their attendance was a form of endorsement for Tinubu ahead of the 2023 general election.

According to Ochendo in the recent statement, the clarification became necessary after a cleric identified as Apostle Kassy Chukwu, placed curses on the Nollywood stars who met Tinubu.

A video that trended recently showed Chukwu talking down on AGN members and the Nollywood industry at large.

In the statement, Ochendo said, “Our attention has been drawn to a trending video of one Apostle, Kassy Chukwu, the self-acclaimed oracle of the nation.


“In the video, Apostle Kassy @kassychukwu_official could be seen throwing curses and casting aspersions on some members of the Actors Guild of Nigeria who paid a courtesy visit to Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“He went further to deride the Nollywood industry, a sector that contributes over 5 percent to the nation’s GDP. This is very offensive and demeaning to the Actors Guild of Nigeria.

“The individual actors who visited Senator Ahmed bola Tinubu do not represent Actors Guild of Nigeria. As individual actors, they are at liberty to visit, promote and even endorse whoever they deem fit to occupy the highest office in the land.

“Actors Guild of Nigeria is a non-political and non-profit making association. It is any individual’s prerogative to support whoever they deem and it is not enough for one so called man of God to castigate and call out the whole of Nollywood and their families.

“It baffles us that a man who claims to be a servant of God could be seen throwing curses on members and families of the entire Nollywood. It is highly libellous.

“We call on Christian Association of Nigeria/Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria and all other Christian bodies to call this nescience Pastor and his Luciferous preaching to order. Enough is enough.”

PrinceOfLagos:

Stop denying your God given SE People

Can’t you forgive any wrong that they did you

Latching onto any Tinubu matter at any opportunity will not make you Yoruba

Be Proud of your SE Heritage


Again Stop pretending to be Yoruba , Thanks

Not true

Story.. the more you hate the more we're going to love ... at the right time we go choose our candidate

And who cares?!

One thing is certain Ibos will never rule Nigeria or smell AsoRock in the next 50 years, that I can bet... We denied them Presidency, Head of State , Vice President, 2nd in command to Military Head of State for over 50 to 40 years, Senate President 15 years and Speakership 37 years

It must be an Ibo man cursing actors for visiting Tinubu, who did nothing to them

Out of 300 tribes in Nigeria it must be Ibos doing the hating and cursing.. I pray xenophobic attack doesn't happen in Lagos after 2023


.

The AGN is populated by actors from a certain region, I don't expect them to endorse Tinubu, they'd rather endorse a loser.

Everyone? what about those that meet him, what is AGN chairman where governors, senators, captains of industries are, AGN my foot

PrinceOfLagos:
Everybody just dey deny and disassociate themselves from Tinubu

Tinubu , stop paying people to visit you na

at the right time we go choose our candidate

NANSENSE

Can Buhari please give the bullion vans doppelganger man one of his numerous call?

Seun say Northerners are campaigning for him.. after myetti Allah speedy denials..

Tinubu is out and cursed .. same with osibanjo.. Yoruba people are now focused on supporting Wike and decamping to Pdp..

While fighting hard to push obi under.. e no work.

Tinubu don turn outcast

Tinubu must contest.. no change of narratives.. no excuses.. no stepping down.

Is a Must..

Yoruba called god .. and Nigeria kingmaker .. called him party leader .. when the President is there .. insult Buhari and Northerners and think .. North Na mumu .. after 64 years of independence.. and staying with Yoruba together

And finally pushing igbo hatred .. like northerners don’t know yoruba people

Since 2004 .. Sanusi a core Northerner and Fulani .. identified Yoruba people as problem of Nigeria ..

Bro ..

In the North everyone wan cash out of the bullion van .. they say Tinubu has plenty of bullion van

Grassroot5:
Awesome

You can say that again
