Edo Assembly summons Tuface’s wife, Natasha over alleged misconduct
The Edo State House of Assembly has summoned Hon. Natasha Osawaru Irobosa, wife of singer 2Face Idibia, over allegations of misconduct brought against her.
Hon. Natasha, who represents Egor Constituency, is accused of bringing the Assembly into disrepute following recent online reports detailing a public altercation between her and her husband in London an incident that reportedly resulted in the singer’s arrest.
During plenary on Tuesday, December 2, Speaker Blessing Agbebaku noted that the lawmaker has been attracting negative media attention.
“Distinguished members, in recent times this Honourable House, made up of cerebral and highly educated individuals, has been dragged through the mud repeatedly by our colleague, Hon. Natasha Irobosa Osawaru,” he said. “For the past one week, she has been—permit me to use the term—trending negatively across both electronic and social media platforms, including television stations such as TVC, Silverbird and others.”
We want to let the public know that this House is a decent and reputable House. In Nigeria, as a whole, this House is the best House. That is the truth. But we have responsible members in this House. Intelligent members in this House. Members that know what they are doing. So the attitude or the misconduct of a member cannot drag the House to disrepute” he said
He said Natasha must appear before the House standing committee on Ethics and Privileges within a week to defend herself with respect to the case of misconduct.
The Speaker noted that Natasha would also show cause why disciplinary action should not be taken against her.
He asked the Committee to report back to the House on its findings within two weeks.
