The symbolic ceremony took place on Monday during the Idoma Nation Peace and Unity Symposium at the prestigious Och’Idoma Palace in Otukpo, Benue State. Dressed in full Idoma regalia, 2Baba proudly presented Osawaru—former Deputy Majority Leader of the Edo State House of Assembly—to the Och’Idoma V and elders of the Idoma kingdom.
In a gesture of respect for tradition and community, the couple later visited Okpokwu, 2Baba’s ancestral hometown, where the music star introduced Osawaru to his extended family and local elders. The visit, marked by cultural rites and warm receptions, underscored 2Baba’s desire to honor customary marriage protocols and secure communal blessings for the union.
This formal introduction comes on the heels of a high-profile proposal that followed 2Baba’s separation from his wife, actress Annie Idibia. In a widely circulated video, the African Queen hitmaker spoke fondly of his bride-to-be, describing her as “a young, brilliant, and amazing woman,” and expressing his heartfelt intention to begin a new chapter.
The development has drawn reactions from fans and cultural observers alike, with many praising the singer’s commitment to tradition and transparency, even amid personal transitions. As speculation grows about wedding plans, the couple's public display of unity signals a new and culturally grounded phase in 2Baba’s personal life.
