The Director of Communications to Nigerian politician Ned Nwoko has taken to his Instagram page to address rumors that he plans on taking actress Chika Ike as his 7th wife.
He stated in the official statement that these claims are entirely baseless and a product of malicious speculation that is being spread by bloggers seeking attention.
According to him, people keep fabricating lies about him and his wife because they know it will grasp the attention of many.
Recall that after Chika Ike announced that she was pregnant, many internet users claimed that the senator was the father and he had intentions to marry her as his 7th wife.
The persistent claim has led to the senator coming out to debunk the rumors, hours after Regina Daniels, 6th wife to Ned Nwoko, deactivated her social media pages.
A part of his statement read;
“Our attention has been drawn to the recent false rumors 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. 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.”
