On Wednesday, Nigerian music icon Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Face or 2Baba, made a notable appearance at the Edo State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal in Abuja.
His attendance at the tribunal was not only significant due to his celebrity status but also because he was accompanied by his new lover, Natasha Osawaru, a prominent politician. Osawaru, who serves as the lawmaker representing Egor Constituency at the Edo State House of Assembly, is also the Deputy Majority Leader of the Assembly.
The duo’s appearance together caught the attention of the media and the public, further adding fuel to the ongoing discussions surrounding their relationship.
The tribunal, which was convened to hear a petition filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Asuerinme Ighodalo, focused on challenging the victory of Governor Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the recent Edo State gubernatorial election.
The legal proceedings have been closely followed due to the political implications, and 2Baba’s appearance alongside Osawaru brought an unexpected personal element to the event. Their presence in such a high-profile setting added a layer of intrigue to the already tense atmosphere surrounding the legal battle.
The relationship between 2Baba and Osawaru has garnered significant public attention in recent months, especially following the singer’s announcement of his separation from his wife, Annie Idibia, earlier in January.
Just a month later, 2Face shocked the public when he proposed to Osawaru, marking a rapid shift in his personal life. Since then, the couple has been seen together at various public events, from social gatherings to casual outings, further sparking speculation about the seriousness of their relationship.
Their joint appearance at the tribunal only served to heighten public interest, with many fans and onlookers eager to learn more about the new couple.
In a move that caught the eye of many on social media, Natasha Osawaru recently updated her Instagram bio to include the surname “Idibia,” leading to further speculation about the status of her relationship with the music star.
While neither 2Baba nor Osawaru has explicitly confirmed whether they have tied the knot, their frequent public appearances and the subtle yet telling update to her social media profile have fueled rumors of a potential marriage.
This quiet confirmation through social media has left fans wondering about the nature of their commitment, although both parties have remained coy on the matter.
The couple’s appearance at the tribunal added an unexpected personal twist to the legal proceedings, as media attention quickly shifted to their relationship.
While the tribunal’s focus remained on the contested election results, the presence of such a high-profile couple naturally led to questions about how their personal lives would evolve amid the ongoing political and legal drama surrounding the Edo State governorship race.
As the legal battle continues, the public is left watching closely to see how the relationship between 2Face and Osawaru unfolds, especially as it intersects with the ongoing political developments in Edo State.
