Segun Arinze vows to proceed with Actors Guild leadership elections

The fuss and furor over the election for the Actors Guild of Nigeria, (AGN), appears to have simmered down with the two principal characters in the unfolding drama, Emeka Ike and Segun

Arinze, sheathing their swords in the meantime.
However, this uneasy calm may turn out to be the harbinger of an impending turmoil as reports indicate that there is no effort by both parties to yield grounds to the other.

Apparently, Emeka Ike, who recently secured a court injunction restraining the Segun Arinze led faction of the guild from conducting the general election seems to have the upper hand at the moment as the elections earlier slated for last month failed to hold.

Speaking with an online publication (NET)on the issue, Segun Arinze explained that the delay in the conduct of the election was due to a little hitch on the part of the electoral committee to get things in order and not because of any court order.

He maintained that the elections which will come up sometime next year will definitely be held. “There are no controversies about the issue, and I can assure you that the elections will definitely be conducted sometime next year.

However at the moment, no definite date has been set yet.”
In a court order, signed by the presiding judge of the Federal High court, sitting in Lagos, J.T Tsoho and made available to HVP recently by Emeka Ike’s lawyer, Barrister Malcolm Omirhobo, the court warned both parties to maintain the status quo in the context of the case filed against the Segun Arinze- led faction of the guild. The case came up last Wednesday, December 14, when the court heard the plaintiff’s originating summons.
