The Golden Movie Ambassador of Nigeria, TGMAN has continued to receive more members making it more prominent amongst theatre practitioners.
A veteran, Tunde Ola Yusuf has left TAMPAN to join TGMAN, having written a letter of resignation as a member of the association.
In his response during a phone call chat with this medium, he said, “I want to officially declare to my fans and other members of the general public that I am no longer a member of TAMPAN, I am now an Ambassador, being a member of
The Golden Movie Ambassador of Nigeria, TGMAN. It was a decision I did a thorough thought about before I took the right decision to move on.
Actually, I did contact some people in the association to inform them of my decision. Some wanted me to stay while some were of the opinion that I should go with my mind.
I did my research, made some consultation because once I have left TAMPAN, I have to belong to another group being a movie producer. I need to belong to a guild because I am more of a movie producer than an actor, so I had to took into the activities of some association and having done my thorough check, I have pitched my tent with The Golden Movie Ambassadors of Nigeria (TGMAN).
Before the decision was taken, I had meeting with the President, Ambassador Saidi Balogun, to make inquiries about the aims and objectives of the association. We discussed at length and I discovered the union has what I believed in.
He stressed further, “I am a kind of person who does not dwell in the past, the future that is before me is all that I care for, TAMPAN now is in the past, and thank God I left very well without any grudges or problem with no one.
“Ejiworo is my last movie, coming up with another movie that will surpass it is my goal now, and that is why I will not `like to say anything about why I left TAMPAN. Talking about the future makes one more progressive.”
When asked how many members he took to his new association, Tunde Ola Yusuf said, “I left alone, though I had to inform my people that I was leaving and mind you, I never cajoled or influence anybody to go with me, though they are free to make a decision too if they felt I have done the right thing by dumping TAMPAN for TGMAN.
I was no longer comfortable with the union and I decided to look elsewhere, now in TGMAN I have found what goes with what I stand for.
Tunde Ola Yusuf said, in 1989, that was the year I started collecting fees as an actor for performance, and to my name as a Producer, I have gotten 12 movies, and countless jobs as an actor.
My type of person is to walk away when you are no longer comfortable with where you are or what you are experiencing. I have left TAMPAN and I am very happy with all TGMAN has promised to offer, I know very well that we are going to do a lot that will bring lots of benefit to all members.
