KIRUHURA – President Yoweri Museveni has said God beautifully created Africans, and that “there is no need to add or subtract anything.”

Museveni made these remarks after hosting Ms Quiin Abenakyo, and her family to a dinner at his country home in Rwakitura, Nyabushozi County, in Kiruhura District on Saturday.

Abenakyo rose to fame when she won the continental crown in the Miss World 2018 contest and finished among the top five.

When she returned home on 19th December, Abenakyo met President Museveni at State House Entebbe. It is here that the Head of State criticised the beauty queen for wearing Indian hair, saying “we must show African beauty in its natural form.”

“I am glad she heeded the advice and re-asserted her African identity. God beautifully created Africans, there is no need to add or subtract anything.” Museveni tweeted on Sunday.

The President reassured the nation that government will support the Miss Uganda Foundation and also support Abenakyo in her activities. 

“I wish her success in her reign as Miss Uganda and Miss World Africa,” he said.
