Natasha Osawaru, the lover of singer 2Baba, has been removed as the minority leader of the Edo state house of assembly.
Osawaru is a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
and a lawmaker currently representing the Egor constituency.
Her removal follows a shift in the party’s majority status
after four PDP lawmakers defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC),
giving the latter majority control.
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.
Agbebaku said PDP leadership in the state would submit a
list of nominees for the remaining principal offices.
He added that his position as speaker and that of the deputy
speaker may be reviewed.
Natasha has been in the spotlight since 2Baba announced his
split from Annie Idibia in January and confirmed his relationship with her a
few days later.
In February, the ‘African Queen’ singer proposed to her
while insisting their relationship had nothing to do with his separation from
Annie.
The lawmaker also recently updated her Instagram bio to
include the singer’s surname.
Natasha’s move came after Annie dropped the singer’s surname
and reverted to her maiden name.
