Reports claim Senator Ned Nwoko plans to marry actress Chika Ike as his seventh wife and that she is pregnant, but his office dismisses the rumours as false.
However, his office has strongly denied these claims, dismissing them as baseless and misleading.
Senator’s office calls rumors false
In an official statement released by the Senator on his X handle, the Director of Communications for Senator Nwoko labeled the rumours as “malicious speculation.”
The statement clarified that there is no truth to the claims of a new marriage or a pregnancy involving the actress.
The senator’s team urged the public to disregard the false reports, stressing that they were designed to mislead and create unnecessary controversy.
No comments on Tuface or polygamy
The statement also refuted allegations that Senator Nwoko made remarks about Nigerian musician Tuface Idibia and the subject of polygamy. His office firmly denied that he has commented on such matters, calling any reports suggesting otherwise a fabrication.
The senator’s team explained that, as a well-known public figure, Nwoko is often targeted by baseless rumors. His wife, Regina Daniels, is a Nollywood actress, making their family an easy target for media speculation. However, the office condemned the spread of false information and urged journalists and bloggers to verify their sources before publishing unconfirmed reports.
Senator Nwoko focused on his duties
At the moment, Senator Nwoko is fully engaged in his national duties. He remains committed to fulfilling his promises to the people who elected him. His office emphasized that he is focused on his role as a lawmaker and has no time for distractions.
The statement also highlighted the growing issue of misinformation in the media. It reminded journalists and online platforms of the dangers of spreading unverified news. The senator’s office urged media professionals to prioritize accuracy and integrity in their reporting.
A call for responsible journalism
The senator’s team called on media organizations to seek clarification from official sources before publishing stories that could mislead the public. They stressed that fake news damages reputations and creates unnecessary tension. Readers were also advised to be cautious and to rely on official statements rather than unverified online reports.
Official statement from the director of communications
“Our attention has been drawn to recent false reports claiming that Senator Prince Ned Munir Nwoko is preparing to marry Nollywood actress Chika Ike as his seventh wife and that she is expecting his child.
We categorically state that these allegations are entirely baseless and a product of malicious speculation. Similarly, reports suggesting that the senator commented on Tuface Idibia and polygamy are completely false.
As a public figure, Senator Nwoko is frequently the subject of unfounded rumors, particularly due to his wife’s status as an actress. However, he is currently on a national assignment, fully focused on fulfilling his political mandate. He has no time for distractions.
We urge journalists and bloggers to verify their sources before publishing misleading information. The spread of false news has serious consequences, and media practitioners must uphold their responsibility to report only the truth.
The public is advised to ignore these rumors and rely solely on statements from the senator’s office.”
Signed,
Director of Communications
Office of Senator Prince Ned Munir Nwoko
The statement reinforces Senator Nwoko’s dedication to his duties while firmly rejecting the rumours.
