2Baba’s Wife Natasha Appointed Edo Assembly Minority Leader

Natasha Osawaru, wife of Nigerian music star Innocent “2Baba” Idibia, has emerged as the Minority Leader of the Edo State House of Assembly.

Osawaru, who represents Egor Constituency, was appointed during plenary on Monday following a reshuffle of the Assembly’s principal leadership.

Her emergence followed the resignation of Blessing Agbebaku as Speaker amid reported moves by lawmakers to impeach him. Yekini Idaiyi, representing Akoko Edo II Constituency, was subsequently elected as the new Speaker.

Before her latest appointment, Osawaru served as Deputy Majority Leader of the Assembly.

Reacting to her new position, Osawaru described it as a responsibility rather than merely a title, pledging to represent her constituents and contribute to the development of Edo State.

She said the position would enable her to promote accountability, democratic debate and the interests of ordinary citizens.

Osawaru also reaffirmed her commitment to her constituency, the National Democratic Congress and the people of Edo State.

She married 2Baba in July 2025 following his separation from his former wife, Annie Macaulay Idibia. The couple later welcomed their first child together.
