On Thursday Jan 30, 2014 members of the Association of Nigeria Theatre Practitioners (ANTP) gathered in Ibadan, Oyo state in Federal High Court 3 to resolve the leadership hitches in the association. The leadership crisis dates back to February 10, 2010 between star actor, Dele Odule and theatre practitioner, Victor Ashaolu. It was eventually decided by Justice Bolaji Yussuf that Victor Ashaolu is the legal ANTP leader.
 
The crisis deepened when one of the contestants, Victor Ashaolu in September 2010, claimed another election held and it was a landslide victory for him with votes from seven states the ANTP was operating from. The states namely Oyo, Ogun, Ondo, Osun, Ekiti, Kwara and Lagos, he claimed, voted massively for him to emerge as the President, while his opponent, Dele Odule and his supporters boycotted the September 22, 2010 election in Ilorin,  Kwara State.

Since then, the battle for the leadership of the ANTP has continued to dominate discussions and meetings before Ashaolu eventually went to court seeking the Judiciary to validate his election and declare him as the President.

However, on Jan 30, the embattled leaders came before Justice Bolaji Yussuf of the Federal High Court 3, Ring road, Ibadan for the final judgment, where Ashaolu won the case and was pronounced as ANTP leader.

Those present at Ibadan court include, Chief Lere Paimo, Oloye Jimoh Aliu, Prince Jide Kosoko, Rasak Adewale ( Sokoti) Bolaji Amusan (Mr. LATIN), Oyewole Olowomojuore ( Baba Gebu), Tajudeen Gbadamosi, Feso Oyewole, Peju Ogunmola, Yomi Fash-Lanso, Babatunde Bamgbode ( Fokoko), Ojo Olowojolu and Yomi Faleye (Osagie), Toyosi Adesanya, Yomi Fabiyi, Bola Obot, ,ANTP governors and representatives from Oyo, Ogun, Kwara, Ondo, Ekiti, Osun and Lagos.
