In the Edo State House of Assembly, singer 2Face Idibia’s lover, Natasha Osawaru, was ousted as the Deputy Majority Leader.
Osawaru served as a lawmaker for the Egor constituency and is a member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
Her dismissal came after the All Progressives Congress (APC) gained majority control of the party after four PDP lawmakers defected to the party.
The lawmaker was removed alongside Charity Aiguobarueghian, the former majority leader and Yekini Idaiye, who served as chief whip of the house.
Blessing Agbebaku and Maria Edeko, who are also members of the PDP, however, retained their positions as the speaker and the deputy speaker respectively.
The development followed a letter from Jarret Tenebe, acting chairman of the APC in Edo state, notifying the assembly of the party’s new majority status.
In response, the speaker announced the appointment of APC members, including Ibhamawu Aigbokhan from Esan west as majority leader, Addeh Isibor from Esan north-east I as deputy leader and Lecky Hussein Mustapha from Etsako west I as chief whip.
According to Agbebaku, the state’s PDP leadership would provide a list of candidates for the remaining key positions. He also mentioned the possibility of a review of both his and the deputy speaker’s roles.
Since 2Baba declared his separation from Annie Idibia in January and subsequently reaffirmed his relationship with her a few days later, Natasha has been the center of attention.
Right now, they are both engaged.
