ABIA, NIGERIA – Popular Nollywood actor and action movie star Emmanuel Ehumadu, widely known as Labista, has openly declared unwavering support for Governor Alex Chioma Otti, praising his two-year leadership as “transformative and inclusive” — especially in the area of creative industry development.
Labista, who is currently serving as the Acting Chairman of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Abia State Chapter, released a heartfelt congratulatory message on behalf of AGN members across the state. In the statement, he lauded Governor Otti’s strides in governance, specifically noting the improved atmosphere for creatives and filmmakers to thrive in Abia State.
“We deeply appreciate how your administration has made Abia State more conducive for the creative and movie industry,” Labista stated. “Your visionary plans to reposition entertainment as a key driver of economic growth inspire us.”
According to Labista, Governor Otti’s leadership has not only improved governance across key sectors but has also opened new opportunities for the entertainment industry in Abia, an area that had long suffered neglect.
The AGN boss highlighted that the state chapter of the guild stands fully behind the governor’s agenda and is ready to collaborate with the administration to turn Abia into a hub for Nollywood, talent discovery, and entertainment tourism.
He expressed confidence that with consistent support and partnership, Abia could become one of Nigeria’s leading destinations for film production and cultural showcases.
“Abia-born entertainers are solidly behind you and ready to partner with your government,” he affirmed. “We see your dream of making Abia a talent and entertainment destination — and we’re here to help actualize it.”
The statement, which also served as a congratulatory message marking Governor Otti’s two years in office, concluded with a call for purposeful leadership and sustained attention to the creative sector.
This endorsement from one of Nollywood’s most recognizable faces signals growing confidence from the entertainment community in Governor Otti’s administration, particularly in areas of youth empowerment, creative development, and economic diversification through the arts.
Labista, who rose to fame in Nigeria’s action movie scene, has been a strong voice for the creative sector in the South-East and continues to play an active role in shaping policy and opportunities for upcoming talents in the region.
