Actor and model, Gbenro Ajibade and actress Rahama Sadau, are expected to be the hosts of this year’s Best Of Nollywood Awards (BON).
The award ceremony which is billed to hold in December in Abeokuta, Ogun state, will see Bolanle Ninalowo, Gabriel Afolayan, Paul Utomi, Sambasa Nzeribe, Alexx Ekubo and Joseph Benjamin slug it out in the Best Actor category.
The best actress category will be won by either Omotola Jalade Ekehinde, Mitchell Dede, Ufuoma Mcdermott, Rahama Sadau and Esther Audu.
When asked about the selection of Ajibade and Sadau as compeers for the epoch making event, Seun Oloketuyi the convener of the event said: “Not only do they have the requisite physical demands for such an assignment, they surely do possess the intellectual gravitas to steer it to a safe habour”.
