Actress Regina Daniels’ mother, Rita Daniels, has lost the Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN, presidential election.
Rita lost her bid for the position in an election conducted on Saturday during the Guild’s annual general meeting in Benin, Edo State.
She was defeated by the AGN National Secretary, actor Abubakar Yakubu, who succeeded Emeka Rollas as the Guild’s President.
Yakubu secured 116 votes to edge out Rita who got 113 votes, with three ballots declared void.
Yakubu’s victory makes him the first Northern actor to lead AGN since its establishment in 1990s.
This came a few weeks after Emeka Rollas who claimed that Regina Daniels needs help, advised Rita to prioritise her daughter’s well-being rather than contesting the AGN elections.

Popular Nollywood actor and filmmaker Ajemba Stanley, better known as Stanley Ontop, has claimed that the Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN, presidential election was hijacked.
Stanley made the statement while reacting to the recently concluded AGN national election held in Edo State on Saturday, December 6, 2025.
DAILY POST reports that Regina Daniels’ mother, actress Rita Daniels, lost the Guild presidential election to the National Secretary, actor Abubakar Yakubu.

Reacting to the outcome on his Instagram page, Stanley stated that “the AGN presidential election outcome is questionable.”
Expressing disappointment, he claimed: “It appears the process was unfair, particularly with regards to Hon Rita Daniels’ candidacy. The alleged influence of a powerful individual in Abuja is concerning.
“I acknowledge other winners, but the presidential election outcome is questionable. It is regrettable that some delegates prioritised personal gain over association integrity. Regina’s mum would have won Yakubu hands down, but powers in Abuja hijacked it. It’s well!! Shame on una.”
