Rivers state governor, Rotimi Amaechi, Thursday night, during the ‘Best of Nollywood’ Awards which held in Port Harcourt allegedly insulted Nollywood practitioners in attendance.
In attendance were Liz Benson, Kenneth Okonkwo, Shola Sobowale, Desmond Elliot, Moses Inwang, dickson Iroegbu, Bob-manuel Udokwu, Patience Ozokwor, Elvis Chuks, AY, Iyabo Ojo and Emem Isong among others.
While giving his speech at the event, he was quoted as saying “You people in Nollywood are products of circumstances/necessity.”
“You studied sciences, law, medicine, accounting and all sorts but because you couldn’t find jobs, you embraced Nollywood. The only reason you are in Nollywood is because you couldn’t find other jobs, if you had, would you be in Nollywood today.”
“We all know I went into politics for money and yes I am a cheerful giver and I don’t hesitate to give Kate Henshaw and Joke Silva money whenever they visit.
“As a matter of fact, I was the one that encouraged Kate Henshaw to go into politics.” he allegedly stated, after which he presented an award to veteran actress Liz Benson.
