In a video accepting the invitation, Adetshina expressed her excitement at competing in the pageant.
“I have received an invitation from the Silverbird Group, who are the organisers of the Miss Universe Nigeria beauty pageant, to participate in Miss Universe Nigeria 2024, and I say this with great excitement because I have decided to participate in Miss Universe Nigeria 2024,” she said.
“I understand the expectations and responsibilities that come with this title, and I’m so excited to embark on this journey. I just want to say thank you so much for this opportunity, and I’m looking forward to participating in Africa’s most prestigious beauty pageant, Miss Universe Nigeria.”
Adetshina is looking to win the title from her predecessor, Ugochi Mitchel Ihezue, the former Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria (MBGN) 2017 hailing from Imo State. Ihezue was the first woman to claim the prestigious beauty title.
The voting, which began on August 3, will run until August 30. As the competition intensifies, each contestant is working hard to maximise their votes and public support. With the final voting deadline approaching, the race remains highly competitive. — TshisaLive
