2Face Idibia’s High-Profile Appearance at Tribunal Stirs Reactions
Nigerian music legend Innocent Idibia, famously known as 2Face or 2Baba, made a dramatic entry into the Edo State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal in Abuja on Wednesday. However, what stole the spotlight wasn’t just his presence but the company he arrived with—his new lover, Natasha Osawaru, a lawmaker representing Egor Constituency in the Edo State House of Assembly.
The tribunal is currently deliberating on the petition filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Asuerinme Ighodalo, seeking to overturn the election of Governor Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress (APC). But amid the legal tensions, the musician and his high-profile partner turned heads, adding an unexpected twist to the day’s proceedings.
2Baba’s Love Life in the Spotlight
2Baba’s romantic life has long been a topic of public fascination, but his recent moves have intensified discussions. In January, he announced his separation from his wife, Annie Idibia, sending shockwaves through the entertainment industry and social media circles. Just a month later, he made headlines again with a public proposal to Natasha Osawaru, a rising political figure in Edo State.
Since then, the duo has been inseparable, making frequent public appearances that have kept fans and critics talking. From shopping sprees to high-profile social gatherings, the chemistry between them is undeniable. Natasha, in a bold and telling move, even updated her Instagram bio to reflect her new last name—Idibia.
A Love Story at the Intersection of Politics and Entertainment
Natasha Osawaru isn’t just another celebrity girlfriend; she’s a deputy majority leader in the Edo State Assembly and a PDP stalwart. Her presence at the tribunal, alongside 2Baba, adds layers of intrigue to an already charged political atmosphere. Is their public display of unity a mere personal choice, or does it signal a deeper political alignment?
Some political analysts believe Natasha’s relationship with 2Baba could boost her public appeal, especially among younger demographics who admire the musician’s legacy. On the other hand, skeptics argue that such a high-profile romance could become a distraction in her political career.
Public Reactions: Mixed Sentiments
The internet has been abuzz with reactions since 2Baba and Natasha made their tribunal appearance. While some fans praise them for embracing love boldly, others express concern over the rapid pace of their relationship, especially given 2Baba’s recent divorce.
Political watchers, meanwhile, speculate on how Natasha’s affiliation with a global music icon might influence her political trajectory. Could this be a power couple in the making, bridging Nigeria’s entertainment and political landscapes? Or will the scrutiny of their relationship become an obstacle in their respective careers?
What’s Next for 2Baba and Natasha?
With the tribunal case ongoing and the political climate in Edo heating up, all eyes remain on Natasha Osawaru and her famous partner. Whether this romance stands the test of time or faces political headwinds, one thing is certain—it has added an unexpected twist to both the entertainment and political spheres in Nigeria.
As the tribunal inches closer to a verdict, will 2Baba’s presence continue to make waves in Edo’s political landscape? Only time will tell.
