Thursday, April 3, 2025 - A former lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani, has rejected an appointment to serve as a judge in the forthcoming Miss World Nigeria Beauty Pageant.
The pageant has been scheduled to hold at Federal Palace
Hotel, Lagos on April 4.
The event organiser, Senator Ben Bruce, who is Sani’s friend
and former colleague in the eight Senate on his official social media handle on
Wednesday, announced Sani as the judge.
He stated, “Hearty congratulations to my good friend, Shehu
Sani, on his appointment as a judge for the Miss World Nigeria Beauty Pageant,
taking place on April 4, , at the Federal Palace Hotel.
“Kindly ensure you arrive on time, 6:00 PM sharp and come
dressed in your finest attire.’
However, Sani through his social media handle, X on
Thursday, declined the invitation, thanked Bruce for the honour and gave
reasons for rejecting the appointment.
He said, “My wives will not be happy if I serve as a Judge.
“I have not been able to pass judgment on the most beautiful
between my wives let alone those I don’t know.
“I don’t have the knowledge or experience in such events.
“This is Sallah period where we spend time with family
members and friends. Thank you for the honor and wish them well,” Sani said.
The former lawmaker, however, apologized for the
inconvenience the rejection might have caused Bruce and other organisers.
