In the past few days, social media has been buzzing with rumours that Senator Ned Nwoko is planning to marry Nollywood actress Chika Ike as his seventh wife and that she is pregnant with his child. However, the senator has come forward to deny all these claims, calling them false and misleading.
Where Did the Rumors Start?
The rumors started after people noticed that Regina Daniels, the senator’s wife and also a Nollywood actress, deactivated her Instagram account. Some online users quickly linked this to reports that Chika Ike had posted pictures of her growing baby bump, leading to speculation that Nwoko was responsible for the pregnancy.
Ned Nwoko Speaks Out
On Monday, Senator Nwoko’s office released a statement saying the rumors were completely untrue. He described the stories as “baseless” and “a product of malicious speculation”, meaning people were simply making things up.
He also addressed another viral claim that he had commented on singer Tuface Idibia’s polygamy, allegedly praising him for having multiple wives. The false report claimed that Nwoko said:
“2face is a real representation of the African man. Wealth is defined by how many wives and children you have. Yes, they are at the forefront of your success as a man. Do you also see how he proposed to Natasha, without kneeling?”
However, Nwoko’s office denied ever making such a statement, warning people to be careful about believing everything they see online.
The Senator’s Focus
The statement also reminded the public that Nwoko is busy with his national duties as a senator and does not have time for distractions. His office urged journalists to verify information before spreading false news and warned against the consequences of fake reports.
What This Means
This situation highlights how quickly false news can spread, especially when celebrities and politicians are involved. The senator’s office has asked people to rely on official statements rather than unverified social media gossip.
