Nollywood actor and incumbent President of the Theatre Arts and Movies Production Association of Nigeria, TAMPAN, Bolaji Amusan, popularly known as Mr. Latin has revealed why the group won’t help some ailing actors in the movie industry.
Revealing the association has spent more than N10 million on health issues facing actors, Mr Latin stated that it is always ready to help.
Speaking on 32FM, Ibadan, the TAMPAN President claimed the organization is unable to assist some of their ailing members because they are inactive.
He claimed that these ailing actors most times out of shame, don’t even ask for help but rather go on television or radio to seek help because they know they have not been active, hence the group is unable to assist them.
Mr Latin said since he became president of TAMPAN, they have consistently saved their ailing colleagues to the tune of N10 million. The veteran Actor said in part:
“Since I became the President of TAMPAN, we have spent over N10million on actor’s health challenges. The ones you see going on TVor radio to beg for money are not active members of the association. We always come to the aid of all active members”.
