As the Association of Nigerian Theatre Arts Practitioners (ANTP) election hots up, versatile actor, Yemi Solade, who is contesting the post of National President, has said that mediocres won't allow him rule the association.

While noting that his intention to contest the number one seat is to transform the industry, Solade stressed that he is aware that some mediocres in the industry are not supporting his ambition.

He said that for many years now, there has not been any change in the style of the association's leadership and it has always been the same old story.

He however noted that the industry, at this period, needs a young and dynamic leader with a good foresight.
