Chairman of Silverbird Group and politician, Senator Ben Murray-Bruce has said Nigeria will host 2025 Miss Universe beauty pageant if the newly-crowned Miss Universe Nigeria, Chidimma Adetshina, wins this year’s edition.
Gatekeepers News reports that Bruce said this through a statement posted on his official X account on Tuesday.
Recall that Chidimma was crowned 2024 Miss Universe Nigeria on Saturday, 31 August.
The politician said his company, Silverbird Group will do everything within its power to make sure Nigeria hosts the global beauty pageant next year.
Bruce promised that the challenges they faced during their attempt to host Miss World in Nigeria in 2002 would not repeat themselves, adding that it was time for Nigeria to reclaim its rightful place on the global stage.
Bruce wrote, “If Chidimma Adetshina clinches the @MissUniverse crown, rest assured, The Silverbird Group will spare no expense or effort to bring the next Miss Universe pageant to Nigeria in 2025.”
“We’ve learned from the past—those who remember our attempt to host Miss World in Nigeria in 2002 know the challenges we faced.”
“But let me make this clear: what happened then will not repeat itself. Nigeria is set to reclaim its rightful place on the global stage, and there isn’t a force on earth that can stand in our way.”
