Nollywood actress and filmmaker Eniola Ajao has revealed reasons behind controversial figure Bobrisky receiving the “Best Dressed Female” award at the recent premiere of her film, ‘Ajakaju’.
The decision to award Bobrisky sparked controversies over the weekend.
In a recent interview with Arise TV, Ajao clarified that the award was orchestrated as a stunt.
Ajao explained that her team devised the idea to ensure the film garnered attention.
Consequently, they opted to present the Best Dressed Female award to Bobrisky, known for his controversial personality.
Ajao urged Nigerians not to fault Femi Adebayo, who merely presented the award and wasn’t involved in the judging process.
She said, “It was all jokes. We just want to have fun. We want people to talk about the movie. My team and I decided that it needed to be in the faces of people. So we decided to give the Best Dressed Female award to Bobrisky since he has always been a very controversial person. At the end of the day, people started talking about it but some people are not happy. They started calling out Femi Adebayo who presented the award. He just presented it, it wasn’t his idea; he was not part of the judges. Nigerians shouldn’t slam him, please.”
