Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Alia has appointed legendary singer, 2Face Idibia as Technical Adviser on Entertainment and Community Outreach. He recently made the announcement at the Government House in Makurdi during the singer’s visit, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the accomplished musician has done more than enough to deserve the opportunity to serve the state, hence his decision to hand him a political position that is close to a sector he absolutely dominated for decades.

He added that with 2babas experience, humility and influence, he is certain that Innocent Idibia would help impact the lives of his fellow indigenes better, while also doing his very best to always lead by example.
His words, “Let me thank you very firstly for supporting my administration and for proclaiming me for 2027.
I feel it will not be out of place at all, because you are a guru of entertainment. Once you say ‘2face’ people start dancing, even without you singing.
Given your experience and influence, we believe you can help us impact more lives positively.
So we are happy you’re here. On behalf of the state government and our very good people, I want to give you some more responsibility, plus the ones you have been doing, because you have the capacity to do some more and help us chart the way forward to improve other people’s lives and to gain more from your wisdom and advisement as well.
So I’m pleased to announce that we will make you a technical advisor to the governor on entertainment and community outreach.”
WOW.
