Ilebaye, the winner of the reality program, was praised for her strong performance by Mercy Eke, the first runner of BBNaija.
In response to her defeat at the recently concluded Big Brother Naija All Stars competition, Mercy Eke made her first public remark.
In the All Stars tournament on Sunday night, Ilebaye triumphed against Mercy Eke, Ceec, Pere, Cross, and Adekunle. Contrary to popular belief, Mercy Eke came in second place behind Ilebaye with only 23% of the vote.
Despite her loss, Mercy Eke is moving forward and has reached out to Ilebaye for friendship. She sent her a message telling her to put on her crown, hold her head high, and shine forever.
