Nollywood actress Ini Edo has expressed her disappointment at the reports that she rigged votes on African International Film Festival’s (AFRIFF)website to emerge as front runner for the Best Female Actress award beating the likes Genevieve Nnaji and Uche Jombo from just over 200 votes to over 6,000 votes in a matter of minutes.
Ini Edo polled 6,697 to emerge as the winner, while Uche jumbo and Genevieve Nnaji polled 4,646 and 4,370 to clinch the 2nd and 3rd position respectively. Actress Rita Dominic voiced out her suspicions on Twitter . Later, a celebrity blogger, Stella Dimoko Korkus (SDK), took Ini Edo to the cleaners on her Twitter page by saying she actually cheated to emerge the front runner. Ini EDO said: “I did not rig de votes or use any software to raise my votes,I came on tweeter and my fb page and asked my fans to vote 4 me.I heard some even went on air and announced.this allegation is a calculated attempt to smear my name for whtever reasons.to all my fans who voted,thank you.I appreciate all ur support and love,Godbless.happy thanksgiving day”.
Meanwhile the organizers of the contest have determined beyond reasonable doubt that the contest has been compromised thereby ending the poll pending the time they will release an official statement (may be on Twitter).
