Actor Sanusi Izihaq better known as Apa has expressed his gratitude to actor Ibrahim Chatta for his support towards his acting career.

The former continuity manager turned actor stated that despite some challenges he faced in the Nigerian movie industry, Ibrahim Chatta never gave up on him.

Explaining why he is still in Nollywood, Apa said in an interview with Biola Bayo on Talk to B podcast, credited actor Ibrahim Chatta for refusing to let him give up on acting whenever challenges arose.

He said, “Big shout out to Ibrahim Chatta, I would have left Nollywood if not for him. I remember when a director who had never met me before but only heard about me vowed to deal with me. This is someone I never worked with, but I was eager to.

“However things got a bit tense and I despised a toxic working environment, so I become emotional and I started crying

“Ibrahim Chatta has met me crying two to three occasions, and asked what happened. I told him that I would leave the industry but he always advised and encouraged me instead.

“I have left film making like 3 different occasions but he called me back to work on his project to ensure I don’t leave,” he said.
