“The responsibility of Patron is to educate and motivate people into positive action.
“Get him out now, I am calling all right thinking, mentally balanced honourable male and female members of AGN to stand up and reject Elisha Abbo as a patron of the association
“I, Dokubo will not have an abuser serve as a patron in an organisation that I belong to.
“An abuser of women as Patron of Actors Guild of Nigeria is an unpardonable abuse of the rights of all the females in the creative space especially actors.
“We must stop every attempt at rubbishing our values as a people with such appointments in whatever guise. Consequently, Senator Abbo ‘sextoysenator’ must be delisted from our list of Patrons now.”
