The Edo State House of Assembly has formally issued a summon to Hon. Natasha Osawaru, wife of renowned Nigerian music legend 2Face Idibia, requesting her presence before the Assembly’s Ethics and Privileges Committee within a period of one week. This action comes amid mounting public interest and debates following her recent controversial statements and behavior, which have attracted attention both locally and nationally.
During a plenary session held on Tuesday, lawmakers highlighted that Hon. Osawaru’s actions and public outburst raised questions regarding her adherence to ethical standards and decorum expected from public figures and representatives of the state. Her conduct has allegedly caused embarrassment to the institution and sparked widespread discussions among constituents and online communities.
Hon. Natasha Osawaru, who serves as the representative for Egor Constituency, has been at the center of heated discussions on social media, with many citizens expressing concerns over the propriety of her actions. Some netizens have called for the Assembly to undertake a disciplinary review, citing instances of misconduct, abuse of privilege, and behavior that may undermine public trust in the legislative body.
The Ethics and Privileges Committee will review the allegations, which include statements and actions considered capable of tarnishing the Assembly’s image, and question Hon. Osawaru to determine whether her conduct warrants formal censure or other corrective measures. Lawmakers emphasized the need to maintain the integrity of the Assembly while balancing the rights and responsibilities of elected representatives.
The summon has already triggered a flurry of reactions on social media, with Nigerians divided on the matter. Some argue that the Assembly is taking necessary steps to preserve legislative decorum and prevent misuse of public office for personal or celebrity-related gain. Others contend that the incident has been exaggerated because of Hon. Osawaru’s connection to 2Face Idibia, suggesting that public scrutiny may be influenced more by her celebrity status than actual misconduct.
As of now, neither Hon. Natasha Osawaru nor 2Face Idibia has released an official statement addressing the summon or the allegations. Citizens and online observers remain keenly interested in her response and await the outcome of the committee’s hearing, which could set a precedent for how public figures are held accountable for their conduct in and outside of office.
The situation continues to evolve as social media users, political commentators, and constituents closely monitor developments, debating the broader implications for celebrity involvement in public service and ethical standards in governance.
