Regina Daniels’ Mother, Rita Daniels Loses AGN Presidency To Abubakar Yakubu

Rita Daniels, mother of Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, has failed in her attempt to become the next president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN).

The election, held on Saturday, December 6, 2025, saw the guild’s current National Secretary, Abubakar Yakubu, clinch the top position, taking over from outgoing president Emeka Rollas.

Although Daniels was widely regarded as a leading contender, she was defeated in the poll, a result that has sparked varied reactions online.

Many social media users suggested that the outcome was not entirely surprising, citing internal political dynamics and past controversies within the guild as contributing factors.
