Newly married ex-beauty queen, Ibinabo Fiberesima in recent times has shown the strong passion she has for politics. Despite
not running for any elective position in the land, the incumbent president of
the Actors Guild of Nigeria,AGN, is surely delving into politics. She has been
everywhere campaigning for the re-election of President Goodluck Jonathan in
the forthcoming elections. Continue..
In fact, Ibinabo is leaving no stone unturned in her bid to
ensure that Mr. President remains in office beyond 2015. During the week, the
actress took to her facebook page to explain why Nollywood practitioners have
endorsed Jonathan’s re-election bid.
She accused Nigerians of being ‘unappreciative’ of Mr.
President’s intervention in most sectors of the nation’s economy.
According to her, “Let me briefly explain why Nollywood and indeed the creative sector seem to have
endorsed GEJ for second tenure.
He sets up a $200 million loan scheme residing with bank of Industry and Nexim bank,
already accessible to numerous stakeholders, building big screens, DVD/CD
replicating plants… Through Project Act initiative, 240 practitioners have
benefited in skill enhancement trainings in the US, India, UK, South Africa and
Nigeria respectively.
I am one of the beneficiaries. Also, he approved film production
grant of an average of 7million naira to 120 film producers and directors…I am
also a beneficiary of this project. In addition, he provided N2 billion through
project Act for the development of Nigerian film distribution among others.
No president has demonstrated such huge love, respect and
support for the creative sector.”
