In an interview with Punch Newspaper’s Saturday Beats, Nollywood actor Emeka Ike is opening up about a lot of things including Ibinabo Fiberesima’s jail term, being the new AGN President and more.
According to the interviewer, Emeka Ike
said that he has always told people the AGN seat wasn’t fit for Ibinabo
because she had a criminal case in court, but people wouldn’t listen to
him.
See his words below.
On being appointed the new AGN President:
“My victory at the court has nothing to do with Ibinabo’s predicament.
This case is different and if Ibinabo is going to go to jail for my own
case, they should come and beg me. Instead of them to come and beg me,
they are still going to the press to say all sorts of rubbish about me.
There is still a second jail term for Ibinabo. It is called contempt of
court and it would also include Segun Arinze. People have threatened to
kill me but I am not scared of them. I am waiting for them and I would
look them in the face and tell them that they are evil and I am
righteous. I did not take the issue to the police but straight to the
court and I am happy that justice has been served. Anyone that ties
Ibinabo’s plight to my victory is only trying to blackmail me and I know
they would not stop blackmailing me. How can anyone say that I sent
Ibinabo to jail? Am I the Giwa family or the government?
On Ibinabo’s jail term:
How can I be happy that Ibinabo has been sentenced to jail? I feel very
bad. The people saying that I am happy about the sentence are actually
Ibinabo’s enemies. This is a lady that was used because of the powers
she could garner and control. Some people were using her and now that
they have messed her up, they are still using her in prison. Ibinabo
would never say that Emeka Ike sent her to jail, it is impossible
because she knows why she is there. What I was only telling Nigerians is
that people of Ibinabo’s status do not contest for any public office.
Should we stop telling the truth? She had a criminal issue in court.
Let’s leave sentiments, we have to be realistic. I cannot be happy about
her predicament because it is rather unfortunate that she is surrounded
by the wrong people and advisers; she was surrounded by sycophants.
Instead of them to tell her how to solve her problem, they were pushing
her to jail and now that she is in jail, they will not leave her alone.
Why did they not advise her to form a team and go to Giwa’s family house
and roll on the floor for forgiveness? They could have sent her away
for days but they would not send her away forever. We are a cultural
people, I am sure that after going repeatedly, an elder in the family
would plead on her behalf and say something like, ‘our son is dead and
nothing can bring him back, let us just forgive her.’ She should have
been very remorseful but she wasn’t. We told Nigerians that some of us
would not agree but they began to call us names because we took the
matter to court.
