Nollywood actress and filmmaker Eniola Ajao has again rushed to the public domain to beg Nigerians to support her by going to the cinema to watch her movie, ‘Ajakaju’, stressing that she would go bankrupt if her movie is cancelled because of the Bobrisky saga.
Recall that ‘Best Dressed Female’ award was given to controversial transvestite, Bobrisky a cheque of N1 million at the premiere of her movie, ‘Ajakaju
Following the backlash she received on social media for the award given to Bobrisky, Ajao released a video message via her Instagram page, denying giving out the award to Bobrisky.
She explained that the Best Dressed Female award given to Bobrisky was just for promotion purposes.
However, in an interview with Arise TV, the producer Ajao described Bobrisky’s award as a charade.
“Tell everybody to go out for me, don’t let me be in debt, I don’t have anything. All I had was what I put into this project. Please support me in the name of God, I don’t come out to do clout or stunt. It’s because of this film, I was thinking of how I will sell the film, so I used Bobrisky. I don’t want to dwell too much on that, I plead with Nigerians in the name of God, help me go out. This is a film that the whole industry came out to watch and they gave good reviews. It’s a film that I can be boastful about and walk with my heads up,” Ajao said.
