Key points
- Ossai Ovie Success alleges bias against another Delta winner. He says Dede earned the crown.
- He claims the organisers did not want back-to-back Delta wins. He cites last season’s result.
- He threatens a suit on Dede’s behalf over “r*gged” votes. The show has not replied.
Aide to the Delta State Governor, Ossai Ovie Success, has accused Big Brother Naija organisers of rigging. He spoke after housemate Dede finished as runner-up in the just-ended season.
His remarks came in a post on X on Sunday night. The message used strong words and implied foul play.
Ossai said Dede was “robbed” of the prize. He argued that she made viewers proud throughout the season. He stressed that his stance was not only about her Delta roots. It was, he said, about merit and public pride.
What he claims
In the post, @ossaivovie stated that the show “didn’t want another Delta to win.” He pointed to last year’s winner, Kellyrae, who is from Delta State. That, he argued, led to bias this season.
“She deserves to win this season, not giving her second position,” he wrote. He added that he would sue the show “on behalf of Dede” because “the voting was r*gged.”
The season ended with Imisi taking the top prize. Our earlier report confirmed the outcome and cash award. See this recap of Imisi’s ₦150m BBNaija 10 win. Dede placed second after a tense final night. She drew wide support across regions and fan bases.
What we know so far
The show’s producers had not publicly replied to Ossai’s post at press time. His message did not include proof beyond his claims. Voting on the platform runs through verified channels.
Results are usually announced during the live finale broadcast. Earlier, we covered Dede’s final-night outcome here: Dede’s runner-up finish in the finale.
Meanwhile, fans continue to debate the last vote. Some back Ossai’s call for a review. Others point to the final tally and the season’s rules. Emotions are high after weeks of intense play. Supporters praise Dede’s growth, grit, and steady screen moments.
However, accusations of rigging carry serious weight. They demand verifiable facts and clear evidence. If Ossai files a suit, court filings may shed more light.
For now, the allegation remains his personal view. We will update this story if the organisers respond.
