Hon. Natasha Osawaru, wife of Nigerian music icon 2Baba and legislator representing Egor Constituency in the Edo State House of Assembly, has proudly received the prestigious Best Legislator Award at the 2025 National Leadership Awards held in Abuja.
The highly anticipated ceremony, which took place at the renowned Nigerian Merit House in Maitama, brought together political leaders, business executives, and notable personalities to honour outstanding individuals who have made significant contributions to governance and development. Natasha was singled out for her relentless dedication to women’s empowerment, quality education, healthcare reforms, and youth development initiatives in her constituency and beyond.
In her acceptance speech, Natasha expressed deep gratitude to her supporters and constituents, dedicating the award to the resilient people of Egor Constituency. She emphasized that the recognition serves as further motivation to continue her work with integrity and passion. “I am deeply honoured to receive the Best Legislator Award at the 2025 National Leadership Awards. This recognition is for the people of Egor Constituency, Edo State, whose trust drives my commitment to women empowerment, education, healthcare, and youth development. Together, we rise!” she stated.
Her legislative efforts, particularly in championing policies that create opportunities for women and young people, have earned her respect and admiration both within Edo State and across Nigeria. Many have commended her for being a voice for the underrepresented and for pushing progressive reforms that inspire hope in her constituency.
Natasha’s latest recognition comes only weeks after her surprise wedding to 2Baba, which captured widespread attention across the country. Since then, she has remained in the spotlight, balancing her role as a devoted wife and a rising star in politics. Speculations about her expecting her first child with the Afrobeats legend have further fueled public interest, making her one of the most talked-about female legislators in recent times.
With this award, Hon. Natasha Osawaru continues to solidify her reputation as not just the wife of a superstar but also a formidable leader in her own right, blazing the trail for more women in governance and public service.
