Less than a year after scores of young Turks in the Yoruba
sector of the Nigerian film industry gathered to form a new progressive
association known as The Golden Movie Ambassadors, TGMA, things are
gradually falling apart.
Early this week, Yomi Fabiyi,
one of the key founders and Public Relations Officer of the association,
surprised everyone as he announced his resignation from the exco led by
actor and producer, Saheed Balogun. Continue reading....
Fabiyi, who disclosed his parting of ways with TGMA via his Blackberry Messenger update, claimed personal reasons for quitting.
“I
have today resigned my position as PRO of The Golden Movie Ambassadors
of Nigeria, copy of my resignation (letter is) with the secretary.
Thanks to all members,” Fabiyi stated.
Dare Oyagbola, general secretary, TGMA, confirmed Fabiyi’s resignation.
“The
national executive of The Golden Movie Ambassadors respects the
decision of Ambassador Yomi Fabiyi, accepts his resignation and wishes
he continues to spread the light of the Golden Movie Ambassadors of
Nigeria even more than he has done in the past…TGMA as a body bears no
grudge and will forever be ready to welcome anyone who is qualified to
join,” Oyagbola stated.
When we contacted with Fabiyi on the reasons for resigning from a body he laboured with others to birth, he politely declined comments.
He, however, said he remains a member of the association but no longer interested in being an office holder.
But a source, who is also a member of the association, said Fabiyi quit to avoid a clash with Balogun.
According
to the source, there are issues of ego and high handedness which many
members including Fabiyi could not tolerate. Efforts to reach Balogun
for comments proved abortive.
