2Face Appointed Benue State Entertainment Adviser

 

Benue State just turned up the volume on governance—because guess who’s joined the political playlist? None other than Nigeria’s legendary music maestro, 2Face Idibia, a.k.a. 2Baba, now officially the Technical Adviser on Entertainment and Community Outreach. Yes, you read that right. The man who gave us “African Queen” is now giving Benue a new rhythm in public service!

Governor Hyacinth Alia announced the appointment with all the flair of a surprise album drop, hoping to remix the state’s connection with the youth and entertainment industry. And if you thought politics was boring—well, not anymore.

From Okpokwu Local Government Area to the global stage and now to Government House, 2Baba is bringing his cool factor, street cred, and maybe even a backup band. The job? Bridging the gap between officials and the streets, keeping grassroots vibes alive, and ensuring local events don’t flop harder than a bad album.

Sources say the governor is counting on 2Baba to help “fine-tune” community engagement and maybe—just maybe—drop a few hit tracks about state policies while he’s at it. Imagine a town hall meeting with live music and ad libs? We’re here for it.

So if you’re in Benue and hear “One Love” echoing from the government speakers… don’t be surprised. Governance just got groovy.
