The communications director of Nigerian politician and businessman Ned Nwoko has officially addressed the rumours that the billionaire philanthropist is planning to marry popular Nollywood actress Chika Ike as his seventh wife.
Taking it to Instagram, the spokesperson dismissed the allegations, saying they were completely false and made up of sensationalist bloggers looking to stir up controversy. According to him, the persistent rumours are nothing more than a desperate attempt to grab the public’s attention and create unnecessary speculation.
Origin of the controversy
For months, social media has been abuzz with rumours that Chika Ike, who recently announced her pregnancy, is allegedly carrying Ned Nwoko’s child. The rumours escalated when some internet users confidently claimed that the billionaire politician was planning to marry the actress for the seventh time, following in the footsteps of his sixth, famous wife, Regina Daniels.
Despite the lack of credible evidence, the story spread like wildfire and gained even more attention after Regina Daniels deactivated her social media pages, leading many to believe that something truly illegal was going on behind the scenes.
Ned Nwoko finally breaks the record
In response to the ongoing speculation, Nwoko’s camp issued a strongly worded statement, debunking the rumors and insisting that there was no truth to the allegations.
“It is deeply saddening that people would go to any lengths to invent lies and promote baseless narratives just to grab attention and clicks,” the statement read.
The spokesperson further explained that the constant investigations and misinformation about Nwoko’s family has become a trend, with people using his name and wealth to increase their online engagement.
Chika Ike’s Alleged Role in the Saga
Although Chika Ike herself has not spoken out on the matter, her name has continued to appear in the media, with netizens scrutinizing her every move. Some believe the rumors stem from earlier speculations about her close relationship with Nwoko before he married Regina Daniels.
However, there is no evidence to support claims of a romantic relationship between Ike and the billionaire politician.
Reactions on social media
The ongoing drama has sparked heated debates online. While some users have dismissed the rumors as another case of internet gossip gone out of control, others believe there may be some truth to the reports.
A Twitter user commented:
“Ned Nwoko denying the rumors doesn’t mean it won’t happen. Only time will tell.”
Another replied:
“People need to stop spreading fake news just to make it a trend. Chika Ike is a successful actress; stop slandering her name.”
Final Thoughts
While the rumors continue to swirl, one thing is for sure: Ned Nwoko will not take Chika Ike as his seventh wife – or so his official camp claims. Whether this statement will put an end to the matter remains to be seen because the internet never forgets and Nigerians love a good controversy.
Part of the 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.”
