Ned Nwoko, senator representing the Delta North senatorial district, has dismissed claims that he plans to marry Nollywood actor, Chika Ike, stressing that he is not the father of her unborn child.
Gatekeepers News reports that on Monday, Regina Daniels, wife of Nwoko deactivated her Instagram account which further fuel speculations over a rift in the home.
In a rebuttal statement from the Director of Communications, Office of Senator Prince Ned Munir Nwoko, he said “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 senator accused bloggers of fabricating statements regarding his support for Tuface to marry Edo lawmaker Natasha Osawuru.
“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.
“However, 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 rumours and relies only on official statements from his office.”
Chika Ike is yet to comment on the matter.
