The battle
between Ibinabo and Clarion Chukwurah has been on for weeks now as at last
week, Ibinabo Fiberisima fired back at Clarion for accusing her of collecting a
political appointment and more..She said Clarion was being hysterical and
picking cheap points in her attempt to destabilize the AGN..Not one to back
down,Clarion has fired back in a interview with Punch..She calls her an ex
convict and a lair about her age
“I am not on the
same level with Ibinabo Fibresima professionally, educationally or in any other
form. I find that she is deliberately misleading the public and wanting to push
the issues at stake under the table with her so-called open letter. I will not
allow her to do that.Item ‘U’ of the electoral guideline of AGN disqualified
her. No convicted person can stand for election in any post. She was convicted
for manslaughter and she was given a jail sentence which she served. There is a
court injunction stopping Ibinabo from parading herself as the AGN president.
This is the copy of the judgment. I have it. Manslaughter has no option of
fine. Her sentence was reduced from seven years to five years and we all know
she went to jail. The judgment reads in part, ‘there is proof that she drove
recklessly and caused the death of Dr. Sura Giwa contrary to the road traffic
laws of Lagos State.’ She was drunk. How could this person be the face of AGN?”
The court
injunction of 2011 and 2013 was forwarded to the presidency. The criminal
conviction of manslaughter was sent to the presidency. The president is
supposed to be a symbol of the supremacy of the rule of law. He disregarded the
law in recognising Ibinabo as president of AGN. The president is now saying
there is no law in this country. So the AGN has become an ethnic grouping. This
is a professional body of actors. It is not a Niger Delta solidarity platform.
Some actors have
even explained to me why they followed her. They said they were taken there on
a fraudulent arrangement for her to use and get what she wanted. Would she
really have approached me for a thing like that?”I have the data of every
government house she has been to. No single chapter has seen a dime for running
the guild. She went to Ondo State and she was given N500, 000. What chapter did
she inaugurate in Ondo State? The guild wasn’t set up to go begging from one
state government to another.”
In 1989 when she
was running Pyramid Club in Lagos, she was 22. How can she say 25 years later
that she is just turning 40? I have known her a long time. I know what I am
saying when I say she is not a professional actor.”

Clara is just being malicious,she can hold two positions as long as it is not the administrative. Govt position and AGN are two separate identities.
Lying about age is not new,they shud be mature &stop this bickering,it is childish
