Reality TV star cum Nollywood actor, Pere Egbi has dismissed speculations that he was the person who sent a bouquet of roses, money and iPhone 15 Pro Max to Mercy Eke.

Mercy recently took delivery of an array of gifts from a mystery man which she showed off on her social media page and this sparked a guessing game.

Her fans opined that Pere sent the gifts to the BBNaija ‘Pepper Dem’ winner, since he is her love interest, but he shut it down. The actor took to his official Twitter (X) page to clarify that he was not the sender.

The post caption reads; “Happy New Month babe. Thank You.”

Reacting to the speculations, Pere tweeted; “Respectfully that was not me.”

Big Brother Naija star, Uriel Oputa has opened up on the strategy she deployed in an attempt to win the heart of male colleague, Pere Egbi.

The 35-year-old food connoisseur revealed that she used food as bait to get Pere to her side during her three weeks stay in the BBNaija All Stars house.

Uriel revealed this while fielding questions alongside Pere on Pulse One-on-One, where she noted that the strategy failed woefully. When she revealed the extent she went to try and get the 38-year-old actor, Pere laughed it off without giving a comment on it.

“I tried to win him over with food but e no dey work. This guy will eat your food and still nominate you,” she said.
