Former Actors Guild President Emeka Rollas Apologises To Ned Nwoko, Regina Daniels, Others Over Controversial Remarks

The statement came months after Senator Ned Nwoko pledged N200 million at the opening of the AGN office in Abuja and the launch of the guild’s multipurpose Super App. Nwoko said the money would support a talent hunt initiative aimed at discovering and nurturing young Nigerian creatives.

The donation later became part of a wider dispute over Nwoko’s relationship with the guild and his support for the organisation. In his November statement, Rollas addressed claims that Nwoko had donated N200 million to AGN.

Rollas told Nwoko that he should have made it clear that the money was given to Regina Daniels for her film production and not to the guild.

He also defended his administration’s record and insisted that he would resist any attempt to truncate the guild’s transition process.

Rollas criticised members of the AGN Board of Trustees and described some people as “enemies of AGN” while defending his achievements during his eight years as president.
