Dickson Iroegbu is only against subsidy removal because we did not give him N2 million – AGN

Actors Guild’s of Nigeria (AGN) has gone on offensive against one of its own. If you’ve been following the news since the President of AGN Segun Arinze made public his support for subsidy removal, the actor has been inundated with barrages of attacks from every angle.

The Association of Nollywood Core Producers (ANCOP) quickly held an emergency press conference and lambasted him for apparently bringing the respected name of AGN to disrepute.

During the press briefing, Dickson Iroegbu said:

“We urge the President to revert to status quo and listen to the yearnings of the masses on the streets, and save Nigeria from collapsing”.

A day later, Dickson Iroegbu told NEWSMEN “The fuel subsidy removal is an insensitive action. It’s anti-masses.”

Today, in a shocking message made available to the public, AGN is firing back, making serious accusations against Iroegbu.

Here is the message from AGN.

This is to bring to the notice of AGN members and the general public that Dickson Iroegbu, has resorted to media campaign to smear the good image of AGN and the National President, because he demanded 2 million naira from AGN during our Round Table on the 30th Dec. 2011 to support deregulation, according to him, government gave us money to organize the event.

We make bold to say that AGN did not collect from government or any agents of government to organize the conference and it was not intended to support government on deregulation but to educate our members.

Dickson Iroegbu had wanted to use AGN to defraud Nigerians and even government officials in the past.

In 2010, Dickson wanted to use AGN to stage our plateau program to raise money from unsuspecting Nigerians for his pocket, the NAT president discovered the fraudulent intent and pulled AGN out of it, (the event held and money raised how much did he give to plateau people that are still suffering till today?)

Same Dickson came to partner with AGN to produce a TV jingle for the president Jonathan during his presidential campaign, so we can use it to collect millions of naira from PDP, but we made him understand that AGN is not partner.

Dickson Iroegbu was on STV today discredited AGN as a credible association and said he will not use AGN in his film productions. Where is he going to manufacture his artists from? Don’t blackmail AGN because of N2m we do not have.

Beware of Dickson Iroegbu; he is not a friend of AGN.
