AGN Denies Members Who Endorsed Tinubu For 2023 Presidency

The Actors’ Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has denied the actors that visited the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in November 2021 to endorse him for the 2023 presidential election.

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

However, a Nigerian pastor, Apostle Kassy Chukwu in a video that trended on the internet, attacked the AGN and placed curses on the members who visited Tinubu.

Be that as it may, AGN National Taskforce Chairman, McSmith Ochendo in a statement on Wednesday, February 2nd, 2022, 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.”
