Emeka Rollas who is the president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has defended the association’s decision to make controversial senator Elisha Abbo a patron of the guild.
The decision had attracted the anger of veteran Nollywood actress Hilda Dokubo, who vehemently kicked against it, reminding members of the public how the lawmaker assaulted a nursing mother in a video last year.
Dokubo said that making an “abuser of women” a patron of AGN was an unpardonable abuse. Her colleague, movie star Kate Henshaw, also kicked against the move.
