Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North, has dismissed claims that he plans to marry Nollywood actress Chika Ike or that he is the father of her unborn child.
Speculation intensified after his wife, Regina Daniels, deactivated her Instagram account, fuelling rumours of a marital rift.
Official Rebuttal
A statement from the Director of Communications in Nwoko’s office categorically refuted the claims, labelling them as baseless and the product of malicious speculation.
The senator also denied reports suggesting he supported musician Tuface marrying Edo lawmaker Natasha Osawuru, stating that such statements were fabricated by bloggers seeking attention.
Focus on Political Duties
Nwoko emphasised that he is currently focused on his national assignment and has no time for distractions.
His office urged media practitioners to verify information before publication and warned against spreading fake news. Meanwhile, Chika Ike has yet to comment on the matter.
