EXCLUSIVE: 'I DID NOT RIG ANY VOTING SITE' - INI EDO

Lovely actress, Ini Edo is in the news again! Recently social media has been abuzz with allegations of vote rigging of the African International Film Festival (AFRIFF) by several actresses but most notably Ini.
In a hotly contested voting spree, which had Genevieve Nnaji leading initially, then finally being overtaken by Uche Jombo, Ini is said to have suddenly overtaken her with several thousand votes, leaving many very upset and angry. Allegations of vote rigging, and use of rigging software being employed, etc have been leveled against her.
There are many holes being punched in the whole AFRIFF polls. There have also been wide spread complaints in the categories such as in the Best Actor category where a London-based PR consultant said Desmond Elliot was intially said to have over 3,000 votes only for her to discover 45 minutes later that his votes had been decreased to 1,400 while another contestant Ali Nuhu's votes were inched up to 700!
The Best Producer/Director category was not left out with a blogger mentioning that he had just voted for a nominee and the person he voted for, was just 45 votes behind the then leading nominee only for the said nominees votes to be doubled by a hundred votes right before his very eyes!  The AFRIFF polls has since been suspended with the explanation being that the site has been compromised.
The fact of the matter was that the entire AFRIFF polls was flawed from the beginning. Pitching 18 prominent actresses against themselves to vie for one position is in itself asking for trouble! Showing the public the immediate result was also a combustive decision.
Meanwhile Ini who had been silent at first, finally decided to break her silence and respond to the public through Twitter.  She tweeted, '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'.
