Nigerian music icon, Innocent Idibia, famously known as 2Face or 2Baba, created quite a stir when he showed up at the Edo State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal venue in Abuja. What caught everyone’s attention wasn’t just his presence but also his companion for the day—Natasha Osawaru, a prominent figure in Edo State politics.
Natasha Osawaru and 2baba
Natasha Osawaru, currently serving as a lawmaker representing Egor Constituency in the Edo State House of Assembly, is no stranger to the political landscape. As the Deputy Majority Leader from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), she wields influence and power within her constituency.
In January this year, 2Face made headlines by publicly announcing his separation from his ex-wife Annie Idibia. Shortly after, he took another bold step by proposing to Natasha—a move that set tongues wagging across social circles.
Love Amidst Controversy
Ever since their relationship came to light, 2Face and Natasha have been inseparable. From attending high-profile events together to enjoying leisurely shopping sprees, they seem to be cherishing every moment of their newfound love.
A recent update on Natasha’s Instagram bio caused a frenzy among fans and followers as she proudly added Idibia as her surname—a clear declaration of their commitment to each other.
The timing of their public appearance at the election tribunal couldn’t have been more dramatic. Rumors swirled about a potential leak of the tribunal’s judgment scheduled for that day—an event already shrouded in controversy.
Controversial Verdict Leak
Reports surfaced about a leaked document allegedly revealing conflicting opinions among the three-member panel presiding over the case. While two judges supposedly upheld Governor Monday Okpebholo’s victory under the All Progressives Congress (APC), one dissenting judge favored an alternative ruling.
Despite these claims making rounds, neither official confirmation nor denial has come from either the tribunal or any judicial authorities regarding this sensitive matter. Both APC and PDP swiftly denounced this leaked information as false propaganda aimed at disrupting due process.
Expert Analysis:
Renowned political analyst Dr. Amina Ali offers insights into this unfolding scenario: “The presence of influential public figures like 2Face and Natasha at such a crucial juncture adds layers of intrigue to an already contentious legal battle. It underscores how intertwined celebrity culture can become with political discourse.”
The Judicial Puzzle
At the heart of this legal showdown lies a petition filed by PDP and its candidate Asuerinme Ighodalo challenging Governor Monday Okpebholo’s victory on grounds of electoral irregularities during Edo’s gubernatorial election.
Led by Tribunal Head Wilfred Kpochi, who reserved judgment after extensive arguments presented by all parties involved back in March; everyone eagerly anticipates how these intricate narratives will unfold once verdicts are delivered on petitions labeled EPT/ED/GOV/01/2024 through EPT/ED/GOV/03/2024 respectively.
Incorporating technological evidence into proceedings—such as admitting Bimodal Voter Accreditation System machines tendered by INEC—further underscores how deeply rooted modern advancements are becoming in Nigeria’s electoral scrutiny processes.
Amidst accusations flying back and forth between contesting parties regarding alleged malpractices during polling exercises; it remains uncertain whether these claims hold enough weight to sway judicial decisions against incumbent winners like Mr.Okpebholo.
As Nigerians brace themselves for potentially seismic outcomes post-verdict pronouncements; questions loom large around how justice will be served amidst turbulent political waters where truth often gets obscured behind veils of partisan agendas.
