There has been crisis in the Association of Nigeria Theatre Art Practitioners (ANTP) as a result of leadership tussle. The crisis has really been affecting the association to move forward and as a result drawing the association back.

However, those in the know revealed that the elders in the Association are the cause of the problems.

Let's refresh you're your memories, after the administration of Prince Jide Kosoko,efforts to conduct a credible election has been futile as some factions disagreed with the anointed candidates of the elders and took their case to Court.
