Nollywood Stars Visit To Jonathan: Segun Arinze Attacks Critics

On Tuesday February 18, a delegation from Actors' Guild of Nigeria (AGN) including popular actors and actresseslike Ibinabo Fiberesima, Monalisa Chinda, Desmond Elliot and others met President Jonathan at the State House and honoured him with aGrand Patron award.

Apparently this did not go down well with fans of the nollywood actors and actresses as they took to social media to criticisethe stars. Many of the fans accused the nollywood stars of not being in tune with the yearnings of the masses, describing the visit as an embarrassment to the masses who patronize their movies.

However nollywood actor, Segun Arinze in reaction to the criticisms said criticising the stars for their visit toJonathan is unfair as they have a right to visit him as the President of nation.

See his message below:

"I think it’s so unfair for anyone to criticise AGN for paying a courtesy visit to President Goodluck Jonathan. We are an Association in Nollywood and our visit was to discuss issues as it affects our Guild and the industry in general. Everybody transported themselves to and fro. We didn’t go begging for alms. Pls do read Madam President Ibinabo Fiberisma’s  speech which has been sent by mail to you. Kabat’s statement was totally uncalled for. We are very apolitical. We have a right to visit GEJ after all he’s the president of the federal Republic of Nigeria.

Chyke Bryan who is the president of screen writers guild is down with kidney problem. What have the members of that guild of whom Kabat is also a member done to raise money for his treatment?  They should stop poking their noses in other people’s business. And focus on how to move the industry forward instead of bickering and sulking like Children. Making a mountain out of a molehill.
