The Senior Special Assistant on Media to the Delta State Governor, Ossai Ovie Success, has sparked controversy after alleging that the organisers of Big Brother Naija Season 10 manipulated the voting process to deny Dede, the first runner-up, her rightful win.
In a Facebook post on Sunday, Ossai claimed that Dede was “robbed” because another Delta native, Kellyrae, had emerged as the winner in the previous season. According to him, the show’s organisers deliberately avoided awarding the crown to another contestant from Delta State to maintain regional balance.
“Dede was robbed by BBNaija organisers because Delta boy Kellyrae won last year’s season, so they didn’t want another Deltan to win this year’s edition,” Ossai wrote.
He further asserted that Dede “truly deserved the Big Brother Naija crown,” adding that her performance on the show made Nigerians proud regardless of her origin. The aide also announced intentions to pursue legal action, insisting that the voting process was compromised.
“I’ll be suing Big Brother Naija on behalf of Dede because the voting was rigged. I’m highly disappointed in this season,” he added.
Meanwhile, Imisi, an Oyo State native, emerged as the winner of Big Brother Naija Season 10, taking home N150 million worth of prizes.
