Organisers of the Face of Elidvic pageant have announced that Queen Enebechi is no longer affiliated with the brand following disagreements over her winner’s contract.
In a statement shared on Instagram on Tuesday, the organisation said the beauty queen refused to sign the official contract attached to her reign.
“OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE
FACE OF ELIDVIC PAGEANT
“The management of Face of Elidvic wishes to officially address the recent issues and public statements involving former titleholder, Queen Enebechi.
“Following the conclusion of the Face of Elidvic pageant, the winner was expected to proceed with the official contractual process and brand obligations required of every titleholder under the organization. Unfortunately, due to unresolved disagreements surrounding the contract process and subsequent conduct that the organization considers damaging to its reputation, both parties have been unable to reach a mutual working relationship.”
The organisers stated that Queen Enebechi had already received the prizes announced during the competition.
“For clarity and transparency, the organization confirms that Queen Enebechi has successfully received her official car prize as well as the sum of Five Million Naira (N5,000,000) as announced during the competition. The organization therefore rejects any insinuation suggesting that these prizes were withheld.”
The statement added that her planned trip to London and other privileges attached to the crown would no longer be honoured because she did not sign the contract.
“However, the international trip to London was part of the official responsibilities and contractual benefits attached to the Face of Elidvic title reign. Due to Queen Enebechi’s refusal to sign the official winner’s contract and comply with the agreed terms and obligations of the organization, the London trip and every other official brand privilege attached to the title will no longer be extended to her.”
Queen Enebechi won the 2025 edition of the Face of Elidvic Beauty Pageant on July 13, 2025. She also received awards for best dinner gown, best traditional attire and miss popularity during the event.
Before the latest statement from the organisers, the beauty queen had publicly accused the pageant management of withholding some of her prizes. In a series of social media posts in July 2025, she alleged that she spent millions of naira during the competition and claimed the organisers later demanded more money from her.
The pageant’s grand finale was held at the Monarch Event Centre in Lekki, Lagos, with media personality Ebuka Obi-Uchendu and May Edochie serving as hosts. Organisers had announced that the winner would receive a Mercedes-Benz GLE 350, N5 million cash prize, a London trip and movie opportunities with Elidvic Movies.
