The National President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Emeka Rollas, has expressed gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for his support towards the recovery of veteran actor Zack Orji, who recently travelled to the United Kingdom for post-surgery assessment.
In a statement shared on his Instagram page on Saturday, the Guild’s Senior Special Adviser Media/Press Secretary, Femi Durojaiye, conveyed Rollas’ appreciation for Tinubu’s intervention in Orji’s health challenges.
The statement read, “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.”
Rollas also commended Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the First Lady, for her motherly care towards the veteran actor, as well as Seyi Tinubu, the son of the President, for his unwavering support.
Additionally, the statement recognised the efforts of Uju Kennedy, the Minister for Women Affairs, and Ahmed Bala, Orji’s longtime friend, for their relentless efforts in ensuring Orji’s recovery.
Rollas extended his gratitude to Tinubu for his efforts in uplifting the creative industry, stating, “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.”
The AGN president had earlier confirmed that Orji underwent two successful brain surgeries, dispelling rumours about the death of the Nollywood actor.
