graced by who is who in the industry. Rita, in her usal style, looked stunning in her black
outfit which stole the hearts of fashionists at the event.
In her acceptance speech, the Imo State-born actress thanked the organisers of the show for
recognising her contribution in the industry. “ I am very happy today. This is the second time
I am winning this award. I dedicate this to God Almighty, my late parents and my manager. I
am short of words. I don’t know what else to say,” she said.
Other winners were Ghanaian actress, Juliet Ibrahim, who won the Best Celebrity Foundation
award, Mercy Aigbe(Best Actress In Yoruba). Singer Praiz won Best Rhythm and Blues Singer
of the Year and Kcee’s Limpopo bagged Best RnB singer award, among others.
