Senator Ned Nwoko, has addressed social media rumours that he impregnated Nollywood actress, Chika Ike with intentions to make her his seventh wife.
There are speculations that Chika who was previously married welcomed a baby for the senator who represents Delta North senatorial district.
However, in an official statement released via Nwoko’s Instagram page on Monday, his director of communications debunked the claims, dismissing them as false and malicious.
Nwoko also dismissed allegations that he commented about singer, Innocent Idibia aka 2Baba and his polygamous tendencies
The statement pointed out that as a public figure and husband to an actress, such rumours were not unusual but were the work of bloggers seeking attention.
“Our attention has been drawn to the recent false rumours alleging that Senator Prince Ned Munir Nwoko is planning to marry Nollywood actress Chika Ike as his seventh wife and that she is pregnant for him. We categorically state that these claims are entirely baseless and a product of malicious speculation,” the statement read.
“Similarly, reports claiming he made statements about Tuface and polygamy are completely untrue. As a public figure and with his wife also being an actress, it is not unusual for bloggers seeking attention to fabricate such stories.
“Senator Nwoko is currently on a national assignment, focused on delivering on his political mandate, and has no time for distractions. This office remains available to journalists for verification of information, and we remind media practitioners of the consequences of spreading fake news.
“The public is advised to disregard these rumors and rely only on official statements from his office.”
Meanwhile the rumour gained traction after his youngest wife, Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels deactivated her social media page, further making netizens insinuate that the news of Chika welcoming a child with the senator might just be true
