Natasha Osawaru Idibia Returns To Edo Assembly After Maternity Leave

Natasha Osawaru Idibia has returned to her legislative duties at the Edo State House of Assembly after spending months away on maternity leave.

The lawmaker, who welcomed her first child with music icon 2Baba toward the end of last year, shared a clip on her Instagram story capturing her moment back in the chamber as she addressed fellow lawmakers.

Clearly excited to resume work, she said, “I am happy to be back, too, from my maternity leave, Mr Speaker.”

The couple announced the birth of their baby in November but chose to keep details, including the child’s gender, private while teasing fans playfully on social media.

In January, they held a formal dedication for the child at a Catholic church. Photos from the ceremony showed Natasha, 2Baba, and the singer’s mother posing proudly with the newborn.

Her return to the Assembly highlights a new chapter as she embraces motherhood while continuing her responsibilities as a public office holder.
