At a family celebration covered by Pulse Nigeria, Edo lawmaker Natasha Osawaru Idibia told her grandfather, Chief Gabriel Igbinedion, that she intends to become Nigeria’s president during his lifetime.
Osawaru Idibia, who is married to music star 2Baba, made the declaration while praising her grandfather’s influence and promising to make him proud. The comment was personal and aspirational; no formal presidential campaign or candidacy was announced.
Radio Nigeria independently reported the declaration and quoted her promise: “I’ll be the president of this country.”
Daily Trust also reported that she would “work towards becoming Nigeria’s president” while her grandfather is alive.
Echotitbits take: The remark links celebrity visibility, family legacy and political ambition, but its immediate significance should not be overstated. It is a verified statement of intent, not a campaign launch, party nomination or election filing. What matters next is whether Osawaru Idibia turns the promise into an identifiable political programme or leaves it as a ceremonial family pledge.
