‘Senator Ned Nwoko has no plan to marry Chika Ike’

A lawmaker at the upper legislative chamber, Senator Ned Munir Nwoko, has debunked false rumours alleging that Senator Ned Munir Nwoko was planning to marry Nollywood actress, Chika Ike as his seventh wife purportedly  pregnant for him. 

A statement signed by the Director of Communications, Office of Senator Prince Ned Munir Nwoko, Gloria  Okolugbo, said: “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. This office remains available to journalists for verification of information, and we remind media practitioners of the consequences of spreading fake news.”

The statement, therefore, advised the public to disregard these rumours and rely only on official statements from his office.
