Popular Nigerian actress and filmmaker, Eniola Ajao, has shed light on why controversial crossdresser Bobrisky won the ‘Best Dressed Female’ award at the premiere of her movie, ‘Ajakaju’ recently.
Speaking on the incident, Eniola Ajao, in an interview with Arise News TV, disclosed that the choice of Bobrisky was deliberate for publicity stunt and marketing strategy to promote the movie.
The movie star, on Sunday, premiered her highly anticipated movie, Ajanaku: Beast of Two Worlds, which attracted many celebrities.
Many turned up in interesting costumes and to the surprise of many, Bobrisky was crowned the Best Dressed Female of the night, walking home with a N1m cheque which didn’t sit well with many.
Bobrisky’s announcement as the Best Dressed Female at the movie premiere in Lagos over the weekend has stirred controversies.
Ajao 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.
“He wasn’t even aware of so many things that were going on. I only called him to help me announce this, he wasn’t part of the judges or anything,” she explained.
