Edo Lawmaker Natasha Osawaru Sparks Debate with Campaign Song

On September 27, 2026, Natasha Osawaru, a member of the Edo State House of Assembly and the Minority Leader, posted a video on Instagram showcasing the commissioning of an ultra-modern town hall at Uwelu Market. The video featured a campaign song that many viewers recognized as being performed by the singer 2Baba, who is also her husband.

This revelation led to a flurry of comments on social media, with netizens speculating about the timing and circumstances of the song's recording. Osawaru, who defected from the Peoples Democratic Party to another party in May 2026, used the hashtags #NDC and #EGOR, indicating a political context for her campaign ahead of the 2027 elections.

The online reactions included jokes and emotional responses, with some commenters suggesting the song might have been recorded during a more amicable period in their relationship, amidst reports of marital strain between the couple.
