Judith Oluwole Kuwornu, who serves as the Country Director for the Africa Movie Academy Awards in Ghana, has reacted to actress Gloria Sarfo’s video criticizing the awards’ organizers, due to the issues some Ghanaian filmmakers encountered with their flight tickets when travelling to the ceremony in Nigeria.
Judith acknowledges the unfortunate event and apologizes to Gloria Sarfo.
“I have sent her a message of apology but she kept on doing this but that’s her problem. I mean we are different people from different backgrounds, where we come from and how we are trained. I’m sorry this happened. I’m also sorry that it’s going this way.
Because [this is] somebody that is close to me and could not have communicated with me. ‘Judith, what happened?’ and all that. She never did that. All I saw was that she was going all over the place. But it’s okay, you know bad news is also sometimes good news. Maybe you are trying to reignite the face of AMAA for us in our own way. We take it like that,” she told Andy Dosty in an interview on Hitz FM‘s Daybreak Hitz.
Despite the event, Judith also noted that some team members who were stuck at the airport made contact with her.
“There were so many veterans that were there who called and said ‘Judith we understand this thing so don’t worry. If we get to come, we will come, if we don’t, don’t worry because you have been doing this with us for the past 20 years , we have never experienced this’“, she added.
She further indicated that there are some challenges that cannot be controlled as an organisation “because you don’t have the personal airline or jet that you can put your people on and bring them down.”
