Earlier in the year, Eniola Ajao made a special announcement as she revealed that she came prepared for her fans and supporters this year. The mother of one went on to reveal that she has a project underway, which is set to be released around Easter.
Last year, was a rough year for the movie star, who debuted her first Cinema movie, which was marked with controversy. The movie star earned tons of backlash after she declared Bobrisky, a Nigerian crossdresser, the Best Dressed Female at her movie premiere.
In an interview with Arise News TV, Eniola admitted that it was a deliberate action to pick Bobrisky as the winner as it was all a publicity stunt and marketing strategy to promote her movie. She noted how the crossdresser is a controversial person, hence her decision to award him the Best Dressed Female to generate more buzz for her project.
Undoing her wrongs, Ajao had awarded two attendees, Bose Alao and another as Best Dressed Female and had gifted the two women a million naira each.
