Shehu Sani Declines Beauty Pageant Role, Cites Lack Of Experience And Family Concerns

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 is scheduled to be held at the Federal Palace Hotel, Lagos, on April 4.

The event organiser, Senator Ben Bruce, who is Sani’s friend and former colleague in the Eighth Senate, announced Sani as a judge on his official social media handle on Wednesday.

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 honor, 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 who is the most beautiful among my wives, let alone those I don’t know.

“I don’t have the knowledge or experience in such events.

“This is the Sallah period when we spend time with family members and friends. Thank you for the honor, and I wish them well.”
