Excitement is building across Yakurr as the search for the next Mr and Miss Leboku 2026 enters its final stage.
The Mr and Miss Leboku Beauty Pageant is a major highlight of the Ugep Leboku Festival — an annual celebration of the Ugep people of Cross River State that was internationalised during the tenure of former Governor Donald Duke.
You can support and help your favorite contestants by following, liking, commenting and sharing their pictures on the official Leboku Festival Facebook page.
You can also support them by buying tickets and tables directly from the contestants, and by buying votes for them during the grand finale at Yakurr Guest House.
Tickets for the Mr. and Miss Leboku grand finale are available online and at the gates.
This year’s event is organised by Euphoria Africa, a company owned by Master Great Obono. Master Great Obono was first appointed in 2024 and delivered an excellent and top-notch edition of the contest that year. He was crowned Mr. Leboku 2020 and will coordinate the 2026 edition through Euphoria Africa.
Euphoria Africa is a platform created by Mr Leboku 2020 to impact children, youths, and the elderly. The company was established on September 1, 2020.
Let us all come out to support our sons and daughters as they represent the beauty, culture, and pride of Ugep.
