Renowned Nollywood actor and filmmaker Ajemba Stanley, popularly known as Stanley Ontop, has asserted that the presidential election of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) was compromised.

Stanley expressed his views following the recent AGN national election that took place in Edo State on Saturday, December 6, 2025.

According to DAILY POST, actress Rita Daniels, mother of Regina Daniels, lost the Guild presidential election to the National Secretary, actor Abubakar Yakubu.

In his reaction on Instagram, Stanley remarked that “the outcome of the AGN presidential election raises questions.”

He conveyed his disappointment, stating: “The process seems to have been unfair, especially concerning Hon Rita Daniels’ candidacy. The purported influence of a powerful individual in Abuja is troubling.

“While I recognize the other winners, the result of the presidential election is questionable. It is unfortunate that some delegates prioritized personal interests over the integrity of the association. Regina’s mother would have easily defeated Yakubu, but external forces in Abuja interfered. It’s unfortunate! Shame on you all.”
