BBNaija S6: Fani-Kayode supports Jackie B, confirms she’s ex-Senator’s daughter

The Nigerian Former Aviation minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has declared his support for one of the Big Brother Naija Shine Ya Eye Housemates, Jackie B

Femi Kayode revealed on his Twitter page, on Wednesday that Jackie B is the daughter of his dearest sister and friend Senator Grace Bent.

He wrote,

“I fully endorse Jackie B who is the daughter of my dearest sister and friend Senator Grace Bent! Please vote for her!”

Reactions trailed his support for the housemate, as Nigerians on social media replied to his tweet to express their thoughts.

While some expressed surprise at Fani Kayode’s interest in BBNaija, some claimed they won’t vote for the contestant due to her political affiliations.

Jackie B’s mum, Grace Bent, was elected in April 2007 as a senator to represent Adamawa South constituency of Adamawa State in the Nigerian Senate.

Bent was elected under the People’s Democratic Party platform as a senator at the same time Fani-Kayode served as the Aviation Minister of Nigeria.

However, after spending over two decades with the PDP, Bent defected to the All Progressives Congress, carrying along thousands of supporters.
