Big Brother Naija housemates Aikou and Flora have been given another chance to compete for the ₦160m grand prize after the organisers introduced a new twist during Sunday’s live eviction show.

Recall that Aikou and Flora were earlier selected as the first Gambits of the season, guaranteeing them spots in the house until the grand finale but making them ineligible to win the grand prize.

However, during Sunday’s live show, host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu announced the “Operation Release the Gambit” twist, handing viewers the power to determine whether one or both housemates would be reinstated into the competition.

“Big Brother has one more twist for you tonight. Operation Release the Gambit begins immediately after the live show. The polls will open, and you will decide whether to release one or both of the Gambits, giving them the opportunity to play for the prize. The power is in your hands,” Ebuka announced.
