Benue State Governor, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia, has appointed global music Icon, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, as his Technical Adviser on Entertainment and Community Outreach.
The appointment was disclosed in an online video, where the governor praised the music icon’s enduring influence and commitment to the state.
“Let me thank you very deeply for supporting my administration and for preparing me for 2027,” Governor Alia said.
The governor commended 2Baba for consistently supporting his administration and for using his global influence to promote peace and development in the state.
“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 the song. So we are happy you’re here on behalf of the Benue State government and our very good people. We want to give you more responsibility, plus the ones you have been doing because you have the capacity to do some more and help us chart a way forward to improve other people’s lives and to gain more from your wisdom and advice as well.
“So, I’m pleased to announce that we would make you a technical advisor to the Governor on entertainment and community outreach” he added.
Governor Alia explained that the appointment is meant to deepen the state’s collaboration with the entertainment industry, tap into 2Baba’s wealth of experience, and create new opportunities for young creative minds in Benue State.
