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 an appeal 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.
