Governor of Benue State, Hyacinth Alia, has appointed Nigerian legendary musician, Innocent Idibia popularly known as 2face, as Technical Adviser for Entertainment and Community Outreach in the state. The Governor made the announcement when the musician paid him a courtesy visit at the Government House in Makurdi, the state capital this Wednesday afternoon, where the governor thanked 2Face for endorsing him ahead of the 2027 general election.
The cleric governor also applauded the popular singer for standing by him from day one of his administration and therefore deserves more responsibility to serve the state, the governor noted.
The governor said, “Let me thank you very firstly for supporting my administration and for proclaiming me for 2027,” Alia said.
“I feel it will not be out of place at all, because you are a guru of entertainment. Once you say ‘2face’ people start dancing, even without you singing.
“So we are happy you’re here. On behalf of the state government and our very good people, I want to give you some more responsibility, plus the ones you have been doing, because you have the capacity to do some more and help us chart the way forward to improve other people’s lives and to gain more from your wisdom and advisement as well.
“So I’m pleased to announce that we will make you a technical advisor to the governor on entertainment and community outreach.”
