Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Alia, has named Nigerian music icon, Innocent Idibia, also known as 2Baba, as his Technical Adviser on Entertainment and Community Outreach.
The appointment was announced on Wednesday at the Government House in Makurdi during a visit by 2Baba to show support for the state following recent violent incidents.
Governor Alia applauded 2Baba as a distinguished native of Benue and commended his achievements in the music industry and charitable endeavors on a global scale.
“Let me thank you very uniquely for supporting my administration and for preparing me for 2027. I feel it will not be out of place at all, because you’re a guru of entertainment. Once you say 2Face, people start dancing even without a song,” the governor said.
“On behalf of the Benue state govt, we want to give you some more responsibilities plus the ones you have been doing because you have the capacity to do and help us chalk the way forward, to improve other people’s lives and to gain small more from your wisdom and attachments as well.
“So, I’m pleased to announce that we are making you Technical Adviser to the Governor on Entertainment and Community Outreach,” he added.
