Reacting in the comment section of the post, a grateful Eniola wrote: “Someone once asked me why I carry Funke Akindele on my head, I said loving someone shouldn’t have a reason because the reason can fly out the window anytime. My love you is endless, Mama.
“Thanks for kicking doors off their hingers for people like me, you crawled and walked so people like me can fly like an eagle. You are inspiring! You are THAT woman. I appreciate your unwavering love and support, Mama. Thanks for ALWAYS being in my corner! Wheewwwww, I have no words. Eshey gan ni ma🥰🥰🥰🥰I LOVE YOU MA.”
The announcement of Bobrisky as the best-dressed female was received with mix reactions as some celebrities including Dayo Amusa questioned why a crossdresser was placed in a female category.
On Tuesday, Femi Adebayo who announced Bobrisky as the winner, tackled Dayo Amusa for over her comment on the matter.
This comes after Femi’s wife Aduke called the actress a “hypocrite and a liar”.
