The Federal Government has rallied Nigerians to vote for Tamunosoye Karibi-George, popularly known as Soye, as the 73rd Miss World contest enters its final stage.
Hannatu Musawa, minister of art and culture, urged Nigerians to support Karibi-George ahead of the Miss World 2026 finale in Vietnam on September 5.
Karibi-George recently emerged as Africa’s Top Model and secured a place in the competition’s Top 40.
Musawa praised the Nigerian contestant in a post on X and called on Nigerians to support her with their votes.
“Dear Soye, seeing you carry Nigeria’s name with such grace, confidence and purpose on the Miss World stage has made us incredibly proud,” she wrote.
“Emerging as Africa’s Top Model and securing your place in the Top 40 is a remarkable achievement. But beyond the competition, you have used this platform to showcase Nigeria to the world, speak about issues that truly matter, and inspire so many young people.
“Nigerians continue to stand with you. There are just nine hours left to vote, and the window is closing fast.”
The minister also shared a voting link for Karibi-George and urged Nigerians to encourage others to support her.
“Soye needs every vote, and every point matters for the stages ahead. Voting link in my bio. Please, let’s come together, vote, share and encourage others to do the same. Queen Soye, Nigeria is behind you,” she wrote.
Karibi-George won the Miss World Nigeria 2026 title on June 5 after defeating 36 other contestants.
Her success at the international pageant has kept Nigeria in contention as the competition moves towards its finale.
