Using actors to make sarcastic examples of an unintelligent person is arrogant and condescending of a public office holder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe statement is very offensive and demeaning to the Actors Guild of Nigeria and Nollywood as a whole as it was purely intended to deride the acting profession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNollywood Actors have in no small way projected the image of our dear country positively from the negative perception the likes of El Rufai and his cohorts have portrayed us to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Guild is utterly bewildered by this kind of statement from a sitting governor who claims to be educated and intelligent, referring to a noble profession of intelligentsia endowed with uncommon talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cChief Rollas lamented that it is quite unfortunate, as it portrays the Governor\u2019s ignorance of the pivotal role of the actor in the emerging global creative economy after many years of his checkered sojourn in government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLittle wonder Nigeria is battling from serious economic quagmire after many years of clueless leadership who depend solely on the oil industry as they are bereft of ideas to grow and develop the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cChief Rollas asserted that actors are intelligent, educated, creative, and highly endowed with ingenious capacity to lead and develop Nigeria more than some average leaders in government houses today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe national president called on El-Rufai to withdraw his nescience statement and tender an unreserved apology to Nollywood Actors immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Originally published at Punch<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Obi: Actors Guild Knocks El-Rufai Over \u2018Nollywood\u2019 Comment By Victoria Edeme The Actors Guild of Nigeria has knocked the Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, for describing the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7984,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[6],"tags":[695,737,109,1320],"class_list":["post-7983","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment-art-culture","tag-el-rufai-2","tag-kate-henshaw","tag-nollywood","tag-peter-obi"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
