Clarion Chukwura has told NET that there is no truth to the story that she only recently joined the Actors Guild of Nigeria as alleged by the President of the guild, Ibinabo Fiberesima in her open letter.
During an exclusive interview held at her Omole Phase 1 residence, she told our correspondent that her membership of the guild dates back to its formative years and she claimed to have been part of the team that endorsed the guild’s first president, Zack Orji.
She further, in strong terms, called for the resignation of Fiberesima on the basis that she is an ex-convict, as stipulated in the constitution. According to her, Ibinabo’s position as the guild’s president is a misrepresentation of the interest of the likes of Olu Jacobs, Joke Silva, Pete Edochie and other well meaning actors.
Chukwura has been at loggerheads with Fiberisima since she announced her intention to run for the guild’s presidency.

Clarion! Clarion! You are wasting your time fighting with Ibinabo publicly and also disgracing yourself. I believe you have spunk and determination but this is not the way to go about it. A piece of advice to you. Facing Ibinabo publicly does not achieve anything. She is a ‘Die Hard’ babe and will never resign. Ibinabo thrives on open confrontation because she wants to prove she knows the ‘Powers that be’ to achieve her goal. Don’t tackle Ibinabo on this level, if you know the big shots that can get a genuine court order to remove her, use it. Also enforce it with physical presence, by that I mean, the police or whatever you need. Stop wasting your energy and breath making public statements. Meanwhile Clarion two things I must quiz you about (1) You are older than Ibinabo so YOU should know better than to come online to ridicule her (2) Also It’s beginning to look like you’re scared of her to be going public with this issue, are you? If truly you are as tough as I hear then stop your squabbling and let’s see you ACT to back what you have said. Another thing to remember, Ibinabo was convicted alright and given a sentence but she did not serve the 5 year sentence, she served only 6 months out of it and during that time she was secretly allowed to go home on visits so that was not much of a sentence was it. Ibinabo na international runs gal on anoda level, all inclusive if you know what I mean by that. She will go to any lengths and I mean any lengths to achieve what she sets out to. Meanwhile where were you when she was being elected as AGN president and why have you waited for her to ‘parade’ herself for 2 years before choosing to do anything about it now? Lastly, a warning for you, in wanting to remove Ibinabo, don’t make hateful statements even though your statements are true, don’t try to hurt or injure her with words, it serves no purpose. Before you build your house, ‘COUNT THE COST CLARION’.
Shina Peters should call clarion to order.
Nawaoooo
Well, the show must go on
