Nollywood actor, Yomi Fabiyi has come out to speak on behalf of the committee, stating that Funke Adesiyan contributed and it’s well appreciated but the opinion expressed by her and actor Kayode Salako are entirely theirs and the committee has reacted privately to them to convey our reservations.
According to Yomi Fabiyi who happens to be the publicity secretary, they are not speaking for us, owing to the emergency of the situation and ultimatum we had, 102 actors were shortlisted for voluntary donations as our plan A and by the time of going to seek alternate support, only 5 had responded and because time is of the essence, we sought an audience with relevant Governments and individuals.

He also stated that since the Grand/Life Patron and former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu had taken up the responsibility without delay, we decided to suspend the official request to the Ekiti State Government.
He further said that the committee will never attack or criticize actors who are yet to respond financially. Common sense tells us that it is an unexpected contingency and everybody will not be ready at the same time and not everybody will be able to afford. Funke Adesiyan expressed her personal view even though we didn’t discuss the payment traffic to her.
Members of the committee are actors with repute and individuals with self-dignity. Since the news of the demise is a trending issue, a lot await burial information through us and as the publicity secretary, I volunteered my Instagram page to pass this information. The onus is on me to do as diligent as possible thereby defending the ideas that the committee stands for. He added that;

WE ARE DOING ALL NECESSARY TO ARREST THE SITUATION. WHILE THANKING ALL OUR COLLEAGUES, DECEASED FRIENDS AND FAMILY, PLEASE BE ASSURED OF OUR CONTINUED REGARDS FOR YOUR PERSONS.
