Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Alia, has approved the appointment of Nigerian music legend, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, as his Technical Adviser on Entertainment and Community Outreach.
The announcement was made on Wednesday at the Government House in Makurdi during a visit by 2Baba, who came to sympathize with the state over recent violent attacks.
While receiving him, Governor Alia hailed 2Baba as a proud son of Benue and praised his global success in the music industry as well as his humanitarian efforts.
“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.
