Contentious Nigerian music icon Innocent Idibia, also known by his stage as 2Baba, has come under fire from Nollywood actor Uche Maduagwu for his new political appointment in Benue State.
During a visit to the state government house in Makurdi on Wednesday, April 23, 2Baba was named Governor Hyacinth Alia’s Technical Adviser on Entertainment and Community Outreach.
Maduagwu responded to the news by questioning the singer’s acceptance of the part on Instagram, claiming that 2Baba had previously declined the role multiple times.
He wrote:
“Unbelievable! 2Baba, is this not the same Special Adviser to #Benue Governor Job you allegedly Rejected severally, years ago for being BELOW your STATUS? No be the same Job you are joyfully and thankfully accepting just to make people think you are doing well or Progressing? Do you think this information will not come out?”
