Ben Murray-Bruce Reacts to AMCON Take-over of Silverbird
Chairman of the Silverbird Group and Senator representing Bayelsa East senatorial district, Mr Ben Murray-Bruce, has reacted to reports of the takeover of his company by the Assets Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON), over N11bn unpaid debt.
In a couple of tweets sent out from his official account on Thursday, the senator attributed his delay in reacting to the situation, to being on an international flight.
1-I have been on an international flight and have only just landed. The situation is being resolved and things will be back to normal.

He stated that the situation was being handled and normal activities would resume at the cinemas soon enough.
Murray-Bruce added that the Silverbird Group had been in business for an upwards of 36 years and it was normal for it to face challenges.
2-In 36 years, Silverbird has grown and like any body, it will face challenges. Tough times dont last. But we, as tough people, outlast them

“Tough times don’t last. We, as tough people, outlast them,” Murray-Bruce said.
