Regina Daniels' Mother, Rita Daniels, Loses AGN Election to Abubakar Yakubu

Rita Daniels, the mother of popular Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, faced defeat in the Actor Guild of Nigeria (AGN) election against Abubakar Yakubu, the current national secretary. The election, held on December 6, 2025, saw Yakubu emerging as the successor to the outgoing president, Emeka Rolla.

This loss comes after Rita Daniels' previous political setback in 2022 when she participated in the PDP primaries for the Aniocha South constituency in Delta State. The online community expressed mixed reactions to the election results, with some claiming it was not surprising.
