Governor Hyacinth Alia of Benue State has appointed popular musician, Innocent Idibia, also known as Tuface or 2Baba, as his Technical Adviser on Entertainment and Community Outreach.
The governor made the announcement in a video that went viral on Wednesday, where members of the governor’s cabinet applauded the decision.
Governor Alia praised Tuface for his work in entertainment and for helping people both in and outside the state.
“You have contributed a lot of quarters to different areas including outside the states,” he said.
He also thanked the singer for supporting his government, especially the 2027 elections.
“Let me thank you very uniquely for supporting my administration and for preparing me for 2027 and I feel it will not be out of place at all because you’re a guru of entertainment. Once you say 2face, people start dancing even without a song,” the governor said.
Governor Alia said Tuface has the ability to help move the state forward and make people’s lives better.
“On behalf of the Benue state govt, we want to give you some more responsibilities plus the ones you have been doing because you have the capacity to do and help us chalk the way forward, to improve other people’s lives and to gain small more from your wisdom and attachments as well.
