Billionaire politician and senator, Ned Nwoko, has debunked circulating reports claiming he has moved on with a younger woman amid an alleged marital crisis with his sixth wife, Regina Daniels.
As earlier reported by eelive.ng, speculation began spreading rapidly across social media after a video surfaced showing the 64-year-old senator in the company of an unidentified young woman during a recent public gathering. The clip quickly fueled rumors that Nwoko had found a new partner.
However, reacting via his Instagram page, the lawmaker dismissed the claims as false and misleading.
“A video recently brought to my attention shows a young woman who visited with her team under the Peace Ambassadors initiative, led by Ambassador Dr. Adejo Sule. Unfortunately, this clip is now being circulated online with false claims attempting to link me romantically with her,” Nwoko clarified.
He further expressed disappointment over how social media users often twist harmless situations for attention and misinformation.
“During the visit, photographs were taken with members of the delegation, as is customary whenever I receive guests. This is not unusual even in public places or events, people often request pictures with me, and I oblige. It is therefore mischievous and malicious for anyone to exploit such gestures to fabricate false narratives,” he said.
The senator emphasised that he has no personal or private relationship with the woman in question, describing the viral reports as completely baseless.
Nwoko also issued a stern warning to individuals, groups, and media outlets propagating the false story, reminding them that the Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act, 2015 remains in effect and would be applied against anyone found guilty of spreading defamation or misinformation online.
“Let me state clearly and unequivocally that the news being propagated around her visit is entirely false. Any further spread of this fabricated narrative will attract appropriate legal action,” he warned.
