Two Nigerians, Dakore Egbuson and
Ayo Makun will join their Ghanaian counterpart AMA K. Abebrese to host the 2013
edition of the Africa Movie Academy Awards scheduled to take place April 20th
in Yenagoa, capital of Bayelsa State.
Dakore, a prominent figure among
Nigerian female actors and an indigene of Bayelsa State will compliment the
award-winning stand-up comedian Ayo Makun while Ama K. Abebrese a British television presenter, producer and
actress of Akan origin in Ghana will complete the trio.
According to a statement signed
by Mr. Tony Anih, Director of Administration of AMAA the host for this year
awards were carefully selected to give guests new experience and promote the
spirit of unity in Africa which the awards scheme has been promoting in the
last nine years of existence.
‘’Each of them will bring to the
stage on April 20th at the Gloryland Cultural Centre their vast experiences as
celebrities, event and TV hosts. AY’s
pedigree as a stand-up comedian is outstanding. As an actress and TV presenter
Dakore is a class act. AMA K will hold the audience with her unique and
definitive mastery of English language as a former British television presenter
and one of Ghana’s best female actors,’’ said Anih.
On the plans of the organisers to
have a hitch-free event, Anih explained that the AMAA team is working hand in
hand with officials of Bayelsa State, the host said to deliver a new experience
to guests this year.
‘’We are working very hard to
make sure we don’t have logistics problem which has always been one area we
have been falling short of expectations. Again our guests must also bear it in
mind that Bayelsa is not Lagos or Abuja where we have ready-made infrastructure
that can support event of this magnitude. Bayelsa is still developing as a city
and the present government of Governor Dickson is working hard to accelerate
the development of Yenagoa into a modern city,’’ he concluded.
