Clarion Chukwurah: “Ex-Convict Ibinabo Not Fit To Lead AGN”

Na wa ooh, ward are brewing all over the entertainment scene in Nigeria.

Earlier this week, the AGN President Ibinabo Fiberesima wrote an open letter to veteran actress Clarion Chukwurah, who called her out for using the association for personal gains.

Wee, it seems Clarion has fired back at Ibinabo.

In an interview with Punch, she states why Fiberesima shouldn’t be the leader.

In response to the open letter, she says;

“I am not on the same level with Ibinabo Fibresima professionally, educationally or in any other form. I find that she is deliberately misleading the public and wanting to push the issues at stake under the table with her so-called open letter. I will not allow her to do that.”

On why Ibinabo Fibersima shouldn’t be the AGN President: “Item ‘U’ of the electoral guideline of AGN disqualified her. No convicted person can stand for election in any post. She was convicted for manslaughter and she was given a jail sentence which she served. There is a court injunction stopping Ibinabo from parading herself as the AGN president. This is the copy of the judgment. I have it. Manslaughter has no option of fine. Her sentence was reduced from seven years to five years and we all know she went to jail. The judgment reads in part, ‘there is proof that she drove recklessly and caused the death of Dr. Sura Giwa contrary to the road traffic laws of Lagos State.’ She was drunk. How could this person be the face of AGN?

The court injunction of 2011 and 2013 was forwarded to the presidency. The criminal conviction of manslaughter was sent to the presidency. The president is supposed to be a symbol of the supremacy of the rule of law. He disregarded the law in recognising Ibinabo as president of AGN. The president is now saying there is no law in this country. So the AGN has become an ethnic grouping. This is a professional body of actors. It is not a Niger Delta solidarity platform.”

On Ibinabo asking for money from government officials: “I have the data of every government house she has been to. No single chapter has seen a dime for running the guild. She went to Ondo State and she was given N500, 000. What chapter did she inaugurate in Ondo State? The guild wasn’t set up to go begging from one state government to another.”
