The head of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Emeka Rollas, expressed gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for backing the recuperation of veteran actor, Zack Orji, who has gone to the United Kingdom for post-surgery evaluation.
Rollas revealed this in a statement by the Guild’s Senior Special Adviser Media/Press Secretary, Femi Durojaiye, posted on his Instagram page on Saturday.
The statement stated, “On behalf of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, the National President, Dr. Ejezie Emeka Rollas, has expressed deep appreciation to President Bola Tinubu for his fatherly intervention on the health of the former President of the Guild, Mr. Zack Orji, who has departed to the United Kingdom for post-surgery assessment.
“Dr. Rollas also commended the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, for her motherly care towards the veteran actor as well as the son of the President, Seyi Tinubu, for his inflicting support.”
The statement also acknowledged the support of the Minister for Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy, and Orji’s longtime friend, Ahmed Bala, respectively, for their “relentless efforts in ensuring Zack Orji gets back on his feet hale” and “for standing by him all through the period.”
Rollas further thanked Tinubu for his efforts to uplift the creative industry.
The statement added, “We have witnessed the unprecedented support that President Tinubu is giving to the creative industry which has clearly shown his clear determination to uplift the sector to be more relevant and beneficial to both the practitioners and the national economy and we find it necessary to appreciate him.”
PUNCH reported on Thursday that the AGN president disclosed that Orji underwent two successful brain surgeries and refuted rumour about the death of Nollywood actor.
