Lagos State chapter of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has sworn in Mr. Don Pedro Aganbi as new chairman of the association after the union unanimously adopted him as winner of the election held few weeks back.
DON PEDRO AGANBI SWORN IN AS NEW AGN CHAIRMAN
The association adopted him at the monthly meeting of the Lagos state chapter after a motion was moved on the floor of the house in Surulere, Lagos.
The election that brought Aganbi in was characterized by ballot snatching, with President of union, Ms. Ibinabo Fiberesima alleged to have physically snatched the ballot box when it became clear to her that her candidate, comic actor, Victor Osuagwu has been defeated hands-down.
She was said to have snatched the ballot box and diverted it to the home of her lover, when all thought she was taking it to the headquarters of the secretariat and later on connived with some members of the Board of Trustees (BOT) to declare Osuagwu elected, Aganbi told our reporter.
“The swearing in ceremony of Don Pedro Aganbi was done last week Thursday, 27th at the Hallie Salliesa Hotel, Aguda Surulere. The ceremony also witnessed the elections and swearing of Exco members, including a new Vice Chairman, Doris Chima and Tunde Talabi as the State PRO”, former chairman of the association, Mr. Emeka Rising said in a statement.
Speaking to newsmen after the state general meeting Rising said the victory of Aganbi is victory for the people.

“This is Victory for the people of AGN Lagos Chapter. Don Pedro Aganbi clearly won that election with video evidence and number of votes counted but Ibinabo and her co-travellers said he won’t get his mandate because they want an Igbo man in Lagos. But they should be told that sovereignty belongs to the people. Victor cannot win election in Lagos even if this election is conducted 20 times over. He does not have the popularity and intellectual capacity to govern this guild. I have given my blessings to Don Pedro Aganbi who was also the former PRO as the new chairman of AGN Lagos because the members Love him and voted for him. I urge everyone to support him and his team because he will deliver.
But in a swift reaction the Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the AGN, Emma Ogugua via telephone conversation said that all aggrieved group should go to the petition panel if they have a case to present and whatever the panel decides will be obeyed by the BOT and the national body, Ogugua said.
