“I have no time for distraction” – Ned Nwoko releases official statement following rumors of welcoming a child with Chika Ike

Nigerian billionaire politician Ned Nwoko has reacted to rumors of welcoming a child with his actress wife, Regina Daniels’ colleague, Chika Ike.

Kemi Filani reported that popular Instagram blogger Gistlover had alleged that Chika Ike had welcomed a child with Ned Nwoko, which led Regina to deactivate her Instagram page.

Debunking the news via his Instagram page, the Senator noted that as a public figure and his wife also an actress, it isn’t unusual for bloggers to seek attention to fabricate stories about them. The politician made it known that the claims of him welcoming a child with Chika and planning to marry her are baseless and a product of malicious speculation.

He also debunked reports claiming he made statements on music icon, 2face, and his polygamy lifestyle. The Senator’s PR team stated that the politician is currently on a national assignment and is focused on delivering on his political mandate and has no time for distractions.

His team added that his office remains available to journalists for verification of information and he reminds media practitioners of the consequences of spreading fake news. Ned advised the public to disregard these rumors and rely on official statements from his office.

“OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS

Recall that in 2020, Ned was rumored to be in a relationship with Chika Ike. Rumors even made rounds that he was planning to take her as his 7th wife, which he debunked.

Another report made rounds that Regina Daniels’ mother, Rita Daniels had fought Chika over it, which she debunked in an interview with BBC pidgin.

Chika had also urged the public to disregard the mischievous rumors of her having an affair with Ned.
