The Federal Government urges Nigerians to vote for Tamunosoye Karibi-George, known as “Soye,” ahead of the 73rd Miss World grand finale in Vietnam. Both outlets report that the government publicly backs her as she progresses toward the final stages of the competition.
Vanguard reports that Hannatu Musawa, Nigeria’s Minister of Art and Culture, tells Karibi-George that “Nigeria is behind you,” encouraging public support as she competes internationally. Legit.ng similarly says the government sends a message encouraging Nigerians to cast their votes for her, describing her as a 26-year-old contestant representing Nigeria in Miss World 2026.
Across the reports, the core focus is the same: official government support and a call for voting by the Nigerian public. The outlets differ mainly in emphasis—Vanguard centers on the minister’s encouragement, while Legit.ng highlights the broader request for Nigerians to vote for Karibi-George.
