But reacting to the rumours, Senator Nwoko denied the allegations in a statement posted on his X page on Monday and signed by his communications director.
The senator, who recently defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), made it clear in the statement that he was not responsible for Miss Ike’s pregnancy. The statement which IMAGE NEWS tracked via X reads:
“OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS
“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. This office remains available to journalists for verification of information, and we remind media practitioners of the consequences of spreading fake news.
“The public is advised to disregard these rumors and rely only on official statements from his office.
“Signed
Director of Communications
Office of Senator Prince Ned Munir Nwoko”

“Similarly, reports claiming he made statements about Tuface and polygamy are completely untrue”, said Senator Nwoko’s handlers.
The former member of the House of Representatives stated that he was currently on a national assignment, focused on fulfilling his political mandate, and had no time for distractions.
He said, “As a public figure and his wife, an actress, it is not unusual for bloggers seeking attention to fabricate such stories.
“This office remains available to journalists for verification of information, and we remind media practitioners of the consequences of spreading fake news. The public is advised to disregard these rumours and rely only on official statements from his office.”
Regina Daniels
In what appeared to be a response to the rumours, the senator’s actress wife, Regina Daniels, deactivated her Instagram account on Monday.

On several occasions, Senator Nwoko has spoken highly of the actress, particularly for marrying her without being intimate with him
However, the 24-year-old stated that she met her husband during a family outing and maintained that she kept her virginity until marriage.
