Winner of the Big Brother Naija Season 7, Ijeoma Josephina Otabor, Phyna has declined the offers that the show's sponsors have made her in relation to her award-winnings.
The reality star recently expressed dissatisfaction with the BBNaija organizers for not allowing her to claim some of the prizes she won in 2022.
On Thursday, April 18, 22024, Phyna convened at the MultiChoice office with Olawale Amousa, her legal representative, and Michael Obinna Nwabufo, the acting president of the Practitioners of Content Creating, Skit-making and Influencers Guild of Nigeria (PCCSIGN) to discuss the prize redemption fiasco.
This occurred just two weeks after Phyna criticized the show's organizers in an Instagram post, claiming that she still hadn't received some of the rewards for winning the 2022 competition.
She said: “I just really want my BTC. It’s worth over ₦90m. I can’t leave it. Also, the trip for 2 is very important,”.
In a statement on Thursday, PCCSIGN disclosed that a recent agreement with Pepsi and Unik Soap will be delivered on Friday, April 19, 2024.
However, Nwabufo said the parties have rejected the proposals from Travelbeta and Quidax Global.
"The recent agreement between Pepsi and Unik Soap is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow, Friday, April 19, 2024. While Travelbeta is offering a trip for 2 to Morocco or Kenya, which we declined the destination options because Phyna was initially offered the destination options of Maldives or Jamaica.
"Regarding the matter of the 1 BTC, it was stated that the exchange rate would reflect the 2022 Naira equivalent, amounting to N13 million.
