Mr Baba Agba has emerged National Secretary of the Association of Movie Producers (AMP), describing the process that produced the new Executive Committee under the presidency of Peace Anyiam-Osigwe, as free, fair and credible.
In a statement he released after he was declared winner, Agba said he was humbled by the outcome of the election.
He said, “It is with a great sense of responsibility that I announce my election as the National Secretary of the Association of Movie Producers (AMP).
“I would like to thank the AMP Board of trustees who have done the thankless job of establishing and guiding AMP to what it is today.
“I would also like to thank the election committee AMPEC and the outgoing executive committee members particularly the President emeritus Mr Ralph Nwadike for ensuring a well organized, peaceful, free and fair election.
“Thank you also to all the AMP members from around the country who attended the elections in Asaba and have trusted me to serve them as their general secretary.
“I do not take this trust lightly and promise to work with my President and the executive committee to deliver on our mandate.
“I could not have achieved this feat alone. I would like to show my gratitude to my President, Ms Peace Anyiam Osigwe whose belief in my capacity to bring value to AMP and the wider film industry in Nigeria as well as the importance of carrying the younger generation along in the industry motivated me to engage and serve.
“I am eternally grateful to everyone who supported me particularly my colleagues, friends, most especially my family and in particular my wife for the support which they gave me throughout this process.
“Thank you to all my well wishers and for all the lovely congratulatory messages.
“Now the work begins to revolutionize the Nigerian Film Industry through its producers.”
