Sammy Fiscian, Abeiku Sagoe and Van Vicker
Veteran actor Abeiku Sagoe has alleged that the President of Ghana Actors’ Guild (GAG), Sammy Fiscian, and his vice, Van Vicker, do not get along.
According to him, Van and other ranking members of GAG have been side-lined by the president such that they don’t get to be part of decision-making at the guild.
This, he added, does not auger well for the proper running of the umbrella body for actors.
Sagoe, who lost the guild’s presidential contest in 2017 to Sammy Fiscian, made the allegation in an interview on Hitz FM, hinting that Sammy Fiscian currently runs the guild with Oscar Provencal and Ken Fiati.
“They have sidelined him. It’s not Van Vicker [who is] not working, he has been sidelined. Now, the Ghana Actors’ Guild is run by Fiscian, Oscar and Ken Fiati. All the others, including Van Vicker, have been marginalised. If he did not want to work, he wouldn’t have contested in the elections…,” he said.
Van Vicker, who also spoke on Hitz FM, corroborated Sagoe’s claims, saying, “I endorse what Abeiku Sagoe said about me being sidelined. But I don’t want to go into details. I never intended to run and I am not going to run another term.”
