Nollywood actress and filmmaker Eniola Ajao has rationalized the decision to award popular crossdresser Bobrisky the “Best Dressed Female” award at the premiere of her movie, ‘Ajakaju’ recently.

Recall that controversy trailed Bobrisky’s announcement as the Best Dressed Female at the movie premiere in Lagos last weekend.

Speaking in a recent interview with Arise TV, Ajao said the award was nothing but a Public relations stunt to promote the movie.

According to her, “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, and he was not part of the judges. Nigerians shouldn’t slam him, please.”
