In an official statement released on social media, Ned denied reports suggesting that he commented on singer 2Baba’s marital crisis.
Ned Nwoko highlighted that as a public figure, and his wife being an actress, it was common for attention-seeking bloggers to create sensational stories.
The statement reads:
"Our attention has been drawn to the recent false rumours 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."
The statement explained that Nwoko was currently on a national assignment as part of his current mandate and had '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 rumours and rely only on official statements from his office.”

"In every rumor, there's an atom of truth. No need for cover-ups! Chika Eke was allegedly dating him before Regina entered the picture. And there's nothing wrong with Chief Ned welcoming a new baby and his 7th wife."
ellabliss83_ reacted:
"Did you notice anything in this write-up? He never said the rumours were false or that the baby was not his. He was capitalizing on the idea of marrying her. Allegedly, she's actually pregnant with his child, but he's not marrying her."
