Nigerian movie producer, Eniola Ajao, has opened up on why popular crossdresser, Bobrisky was awarded the Best Dressed Female at her movie premiere over the weekend.
The move has continued to spark criticisms online as many drag the movie premiere organisers for handing cross-dresser Bobrisky the best-dressed award for the female category at the event.
However, in an interview with Arise TV, Ajao explained that the decision to award Bobrisky the best-dressed female award category was a publicity strategy.
She described the move as a joke stating,
“It was just all jokes anyway, we just wanted to have fun, and we wanted people to talk about the movie; My SIM and I decided that we need to talk about this, it needs to be in the faces of people, so I have been taking it upon myself to protect the image of a lot of people at the same time I have been doing it all alone all alone by myself, I taking it upon myself to do it and I wasn’t getting any help that I feel I needed, so I said okay what can we do for people to talk about this film and we decided okay let us give it to Bob, Bob is always a controversial person, then at the end of the day people started talking about it…” she said.
