Natasha Osawaru, the wife of music legend Innocent “2Baba” Idibia and a member of the Edo State House of Assembly, has officially dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
The lawmaker, representing Egor Constituency, was formally received at the party’s Abuja headquarters on Thursday by national leader Seriake Dickson and other top officials.
Before making the move official, the 31-year-old took to her Instagram page to declare her re-election bid, stating she would now contest under the NDC, which she described as a party “committed to serving the people.”
In a creative twist found in her 2027 campaign materials, the lawmaker interpreted the party’s acronym, NDC, as “Natasha Don Come.”
She expressed confidence that her new political alignment, combined with the backing of her people, would ensure “a new Edo State would emerge.”
Osawaru further pledged that her second term would “prioritise their welfare, empower youths, ensure adequate security and deliver good governance.”
Beyond her own ambition, Osawaru has openly declared her support for the presidential aspirations of Peter Obi.
Sharing a photo with the former Anambra Governor, she called on citizens to take action, stating, “Nigerians stand up, war against the oppressors.”
Her move to the NDC alongside other political heavyweights comes just four days after Obi and other prominent figures joined the fold.
