Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State, has congratulated Enugu State-born Miss Universe Nigeria, Chidimma Onwe Adetshina, on her emergence as the first runner up at the Miss Universe 2024 Pageant in Mexico, maintaining that she demonstrated the perseverance and courage for which the people of the state were known for.
The Governor who had earlier received Miss Onwe Adetshina in October and appointed her the state’s brand ambassador also thanked Nigerians and the world for rallying behind her in her chequered journey to the pageant.
Mbah said, “Congratulations to Miss Universe Nigeria, Chidimma Onwe Adetshina, a beloved daughter and Brand Ambassador of Enugu State, on emerging as the 1st Runner-Up at the Miss Universe 2024 Pageant in Mexico.
“Chidimma’s incredible journey and outstanding performance have filled us with immense pride, reaffirming the resilience, brilliance, and determination that define Ndi Enugu.
“She has made Enugu and Nigeria shine brightly on the world stage, and we couldn’t be prouder of her. On behalf of the people of Enugu State, I say congratulations, Chidimma – keep soaring to even greater heights.”
Recall that although Chidimma had been resident in South Africa, she withdrew from Miss South Africa competition for lack of acceptance and the storm generated by her participation and joined the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant where she was crowned and went on to represent Nigeria at the just concluded 2024 Miss Universe Pageant in Mexico where she emerged 1st runner up to Miss Denmark, Victoria Kjaer Theilvig, who clinched the crown on Sunday.
