Nollywood Star, Emeka Ike has reacted to the reaction of
Ibinabo Fiberesima, president of Actors
Guild of Nigeria (AGN) that she would appeal the court judgment that sacked her
as the Guild’s
president on Monday.
According to Nigeriafilms.com the actor disclosed that he gives Ibinabo 24
hours to apologise to the guild and vacate her seat or face being dragged to
court again for contempt. Speaking on the threat of
appeal made by the seating president Emeka posits that she has no case and
points out what it entails to effect an appeal.
“She has not appealed. Do you know what anappeal of a judgment means? The
judgment was given on Monday and I ask, ‘has she received a copy of the judgment she wants
to appeal at the moment? Don’t insult my integrity. Before you make any appeal, you have to
write papers and take the papers to the right places and you make an appeal with that. If you
don’t have the judgment papers in your hand, how do you appeal it? And when you
appeal, before you get the court’s attention, you must serve it, you must give
a notice of it for at least 29 days in a newspaper. There are ways things are done logically on issues like this. It is not for you do things
anyhow. This is a very sensitive case. You are dealing with an A-list person. Your mindset is your
mindset, it should not affect the other.
I give her (Ibinabo) 24 hours to tender an apology to the guild, 24 hours for
talking about appealing
this case, if not, I will serve her court papers and her cohorts; I am not
joking on this matter. I am
not using thugs, I am not using OPC, I am not using any cult members, I am not
using the police, I am applying the Nigerian justice system and that is the civilized way
of doing things” he
says.
