In a video statement by the Actors Guild of Nigeria Director Of Communications, Kate Henshaw, the guild dismissed claims of abandoning one of its members, John Okafor, aka Mr. Ibu,
Recall that Mr. Ibu, on Wednesday, October 18, came out publicly to seek assistance as he battled an undisclosed ailment. This action led to criticism against the guild on various social media, alleging that the guild had abandoned one of its own.
The statement in part said
‘’We are compelled to make this public statement in reaction to the vituperations of some netizens over the health of one of our respected and esteemed members, John Okafor, popularly known as Mr Ibu.
We are not here to join issues with anybody, but we want to set the records straight over the public outcry the guild and his colleagues have abandoned him at his point of need.
The guild has never abandoned any of its members in need, especially with health interventions. We have been in the forefront of providing necessary support to mr Ibu even before his health conditions was ever made public.”
