Eniola Ajao, a Nigerian director and movie actress, has apologized to Nigerians after awarding crossdresser, Bobrisky as best dressed female at her movie premiere.
She has now decided to correct the error. The actress said she’s going to honour two guests at her movie premiere, Bose Alao, and another, Best Dressed Female.
Recall that dispute erupted after Bobrisky was named the best-dressed female at a premiere.
Femi Adebayo, who proclaimed Bobrisky as the winner, attracted condemnation from the public and his colleague, Dayo Amusa.
On Tuesday night, the actor, his wife Aduke, and Dayo got into a heated argument, prompting Eniola to issue a message on Instagram apologizing to everyone.
In an interview with Arise News TV, Eniola Ajao revealed that choosing Bobrisky as the best-dressed female was a premeditated decision because it was all part of a media ploy and marketing campaign to promote her movie.
In a lengthy Instagram post, the movie star said that to make apologies, she would be offering two women a million Naira each. She sent a lengthy apology to the Muslim community, women, Dayo Amusa, Femi Adebayo, his wife, and Bobrisky, who were all impacted by the controversy.
