The 2Baba Foundation has once again thrilled residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) by offering the iconic music star for a command and special performance at the Abuja countdown to 2026.

The event, organised by Yankee Entertainment in collaboration with Renewed Hope Youth Engagement, and Office of the special Assistant to the President on Social Events, is designed to usher Abuja residents into the New Year with high-energy entertainment, marking a joyful start to 2026.

The 2Baba Foundation is widely known for its strong public partnerships, particularly on events that connect with grassroots communities and fans across the country.

Speaking on the expected command performance, the Foundation’s management said the decision was influenced by the strong bond between the African Queen crooner and Abuja residents, noting that the performance was a way of showing appreciation and spreading love as the city prepares to enter a new calendar year.

“2Baba Foundation believes in positivity and the promise of the future. What we preach at the Foundation is simple: anybody can be anything at any time, and there should be no loss of hope regardless of the situation,” the statement said.

“2Baba’s story is a classic grass-to-grace narrative. Standing tall to perform for our people while ushering them into 2026 is inspirational and will go a long way in encouraging residents to embrace self-belief in the New Year,” said the show organiser, Mallam Yankee.

The December 31 event will also feature performances by other artistes, including Magnito, Shoday, Fola, and Soundboi BME.

Activities for the countdown will commence as early as 2:00 p.m. at the Eagle Square, with attractions such as concert, MSME exhibition, drift show, children’s arena and a fireworks display.
