However, there were concerns on social media that movies produced in Asaba and other eastern parts of the country were neglected.
Speaking on the development, the actor, in a post on his Instagram stories, made a case for Enugu and Asaba actors who are not being recognized at the award ceremony.
He asked that the AMVCA should be changed to Lasgidi/Lagos awards since actors in other states are not recognized.
His post read: “AMVCA ‘African Magic Viewers Choice Awards’ sincerely should be changed to Lasgidi/Lagos awards or something else
because there are a lot of good actors and crew members in other areas under the same Nollywood working really hard that you all don’t recognize”.
