Comic actor John Okafor popularly known as Mr Ibu has asked AGN president Ibinabo Fiberisima to drop her ambition of running for a second term. According to him, about 90% of the association members do not want her as their leader, with many court cases being instituted against her.

All the money promised by President Jonathan and other state Government, what have they done with it? Whether it has been collected or not we don’t know. It is very painful considering the number of years we have been in existence” he said
