"Absolute Nonsense " Segun Arinze replies Clarion Chukwura.

Actor and former AGN President, Segun Arinze has described actress Clarion Chukwura’s recent comment on Ibinabo Fiberesima’s political appointment as absolute nonsense. You would recall that the veteran actress called for the AGN President’s resignation after learning of her appointment on the board of the National Arts and Culture.
“Absolute Nonsense! AGN Presidency doesn’t stop her from taking any appointment. Moreso its not a full time job that will distract her from her duties. Its a board appointment.  Please Ibinabo should be left alone  to do her job. And she’s doing a great job so far. What’s the Genesis of all this idle talk?  Let’s focus our energies in the right direction. Abeg make I hear word!!! Enough of this attention seeking statement. The graves just turned and grizzly ghouls are suddenly stirring everywhere!”

Clarion Chukwura takes a swipe at Ibinabo Fiberesima, calls for her resignation as AGN President.

Veteran actress, Clarion Chukwura has vented her disappointment at members of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) who paid a courtesy visit to President Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja few weeks ago. In a statement made available to Vanguard newspaper, she described the visit as uncalled for, blamed actors who registered their presence and also called for the resignation of the AGN President, Ibinabo Fiberesima.

“I read with dismay the address of president of AGN, Miss Ibinabo Fiberisima on a recent visit with some notable actors and AGN officials to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. It is alarming to discover from this address, the false claims by Ibinabo that the Actors Guild of Nigeria is the only umbrella body of Nigerian screen actors; that President Goodluck Jonathan has by the “constant release of funds” effected a sustained development of the Nigerian movie industry since the inception of his administration; that an AGN Secretariat located in Abuja and political appointments for actors would advance the welfare of the Nigerian screen actors.

While it is not surprising that Ibinabo would display such a lack of knowledge of what advances screen actors professionally in the developed world since she has not functioned consistently as an actor and has less than ten titles to her credit in a career spanning from the late eighties. They watched in compliance, the denigration of the integrity of Nigerian screen actors, as she read her requests literally begging for crumbs from the president’s table. For her brazen use of a Guild created to serve the creative interests of a group to gain political appointment while in office, I enjoin her to follow the respectable road of her predecessors by joining the PDP and testing the real value of her self-earned popularity as an actress for political appointment”
