2Baba’s wife Natasha Osawaru advocates against indecent dressing in Edo

Natasha Osawaru, wife of Afro singer,  2Baba and a member of the Edo State House of Assembly, has advocated against indecent dressing in the state.

Osawaru, who represents Egor constituency and serves as the Minority Leader in the House, raised the issue as a matter of urgent public importance during plenary.

She shared a video of herself presenting the motion on the floor of the Assembly on Instagram.

In the video, Osawaru expressed concern over the way some women in Edo State dress in public, describing it as inappropriate and against Benin cultural values.

“Mr. Speaker, my matter of urgent importance is the inappropriate ways that our women in Edo State dress these days. The motion is to caution indecent dressing in Edo State,” she said in the video.

She stated that dressing is a major part of Benin culture, where modesty, dignity, royalty and good home training are highly valued.

“Edo State is an ancestral state with high value and traditions. You will see our young beautiful women indecent on the streets. Dressing is a major part of Benin culture,” she said.

Osawaru described the traditional Benin woman as one known for her well-tied headgear, decent blouse and neatly arranged coral beads.

She added that the issue was not limited to the streets. She said she had personally corrected some workers within the State Assembly complex over their mode of dressing.

“Even in the State Assembly here I have corrected a lot of our workers,” she said.

Her motion received support from fellow lawmakers present at the session.

She captioned the video: “THE GIRL CHILD ARE THE LEADERS OF TOMORROW 🙏”
