The first runner-up of the recently concluded Big Brother Naija Season 10, Dede Ashiogwu, has rejected claims that regional bias influenced the outcome of the competition.
The “Ten Over Ten” edition concluded on Sunday, with Imisi emerging as the winner and taking home the N150 million grand prize.
Ossai Ovie Success, the Senior Special Assistant on Media to the Delta State Governor, took to his official X account to allege that the outcome of Big Brother Naija Season 10 was manipulated.
He claimed that Dede was unfairly denied the win because the organisers were allegedly determined to prevent another Delta State native from emerging as the winner, following Kellyrae’s victory in the previous season.
In his post, Ossai argued that Dede made her state and fans proud and deserved the top spot, threatening to take legal action against the show’s organizers over what he described as “rigged voting.”
Reacting to the controversy during the prize presentation ceremony held on Tuesday at MultiChoice office in Lagos, Dede debunked the claims, stressing that Imisi’s win was legitimate and well-earned.
“I don’t believe it had anything to do with the region. It’s simply about the votes, she got the highest number, and she won. She truly deserves it,” Dede stated.
Looking ahead, the Delta-born reality star revealed her intention to pursue a career in the entertainment and creative industries, especially in acting.
“Everything amazing, everything we don’t know, everything we’ve never seen, that’s what I’m bringing,” she said confidently.
