A senior aide to the Delta State Governor has threatened to take legal action against the organizers of Big Brother Naija Season 10, following the defeat of Dede, one of the finalists, who lost the crown to Imisi in Sunday night’s grand finale.
The aide, whose name has been withheld for official reasons, described the outcome as “a daylight robbery” and accused the show’s organizers of manipulating the voting process in favour of the eventual winner.
In a statement shared on his verified social media page on Monday morning, he said, “We have credible evidence suggesting that votes were tampered with. Dede had overwhelming support from fans across the country and the diaspora. We will not allow this injustice to stand.”
The aide further revealed plans to consult a legal team to challenge the final results and demand an independent audit of the voting data.
The statement has since sparked a heated debate online, with fans of both contestants clashing on social media platforms over the credibility of the show’s voting system.
Meanwhile, the organizers of Big Brother Naija, MultiChoice Nigeria, have dismissed allegations of vote manipulation, insisting that the process was transparent and independently verified.
A spokesperson for the company said, “The voting process for BBNaija is secure, audited, and supervised by reputable firms. Every season, we ensure fairness and integrity. The outcome of Season 10 stands.”
Imisi was crowned winner of BBNaija Season 10 after weeks of intense competition, taking home the ₦120 million grand prize. Dede, the runner-up from Delta State, had been one of the most popular housemates, earning widespread support from fans and public figures alike.
