Telecommunication company, MTN, is not considering any deal with Big Brother Naija evictee, Gifty Powers, Qed.ng has learned.
This is contrary to the impression created by the reality TV star after she visited the firm’s head office in Lagos during the week.
Gifty, who has embarked on a media tour and rebranding exercise following her eviction from the show in South Africa, took a picture with MTN’s acting sales and distribution executive, Adekunle Adebiyi, during her visit.
“Great deals dropping in…Fingers crossed.. Thanks for your time sir,” she captioned the one on Instagram, prompting speculation that she had been offered an endorsement deal.
A senior official of the company, however, told Qed.ng on Friday that “we do not have any plan to offer Gifty a deal. She was on a visit to our company and probably thought it wise to use it to push her brand.”
Gifty, who recently admitted that she was once married, was heavily criticised during her stay in the Big Brother House for what many described as “fakeness”.
She also earned the rebuke of celebs and fans alike for saying she didn’t know Banky W and Falz an MTN ambassador.
The MTN executive told our correspondent that the company does not have anything against the young woman.
“She is just not in our plan,” he added.
There were reports on Friday that the budding actress is working on a new project following the release of a new set of pictures from a photoshoot.
