Emeka Rollas emerges President of Actors Guild Of Nigeria (AGN)

Emeka Rollas has emerged president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) after beating former Interim President,Emeka Ike.

This is coming a few days after a Peace and Reconciliation Conference was held to end the existing enmity between Ibinabo Fiberesima and Emeka Ike.

An open election was also conducted, electing Emeka Rollas as the new National Actor Guilds of Nigeria President after he polled 42 votes against Emeka Ike’s 12.

Rollas had this to say after winning the election:

“Having gone through deep crisis which almost destroyed the very foundation of our guild over the years, we have commenced work immediately towards healing the wounds of the past,” he said.

“We are resolute in building a strong and united body for Nollywood actors with a view to restoring total peace, forgiveness and reconciliation amongst all aggrieved parties, for our strength lies in our unity.”

“I open my hands of fellowship to all for us to rebuild this Guild, for there cannot be a good leader without good followers.”

Rollas who also is an actor, is know for movies like “Not My Wealth,” Last Warning,” “Not Your Wife,” “House Party” among others. He was also on time the General Secretary of the Guild.

On March 23, 2016, Ibinabo Fiberesima was removed as the president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria by a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos.
Following the verdict, Nollywood actor Emeka Ike was announced as the interim president of the guild pending its elections in 2018.
However, for almost two years, the guild was undecided about its rightful leader.

It  comes as a breath of fresh air knowing that the guild has finally decided to move forward.
