Nigerian music legend Innocent Idibia, popularly known as Tuface, made an unexpected appearance at the Edo State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal in Abuja on Wednesday. The renowned singer was accompanied by his new partner, Natasha Osawaru, the Deputy Majority Leader of the Edo State House of Assembly.

Their presence at the tribunal caught the attention of onlookers, as the duo spent a brief period inside the courtroom before making a quiet exit. The tribunal is currently reviewing the petition filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Asue Ighodalo, contesting the victory of Governor Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the September 21, 2024, governorship election in Edo State.

Osawaru, who hails from an influential background as the granddaughter of billionaire Gabriel Igbinedion, has been in the spotlight since her engagement to Tuface. Their relationship came to public attention following the singer’s separation from his wife, Annie Macaulay. The couple has since made several public appearances together, further fueling conversations about their romance.

Adding to the speculation, Osawaru recently updated her Instagram bio to reflect the surname "Idibia," suggesting a deeper level of commitment in their relationship.

While their presence at the tribunal has sparked curiosity, neither Tuface nor Osawaru has publicly commented on the reason for their visit. For now, their relationship continues to attract attention both in political and entertainment circles.
