Denies Plans to Marry the Actress as His Seventh Wife
Nigerian senator and businessman Ned Nwoko has officially responded to widespread rumors linking him to Nollywood actress Chika Ike, dismissing claims that he is responsible for her pregnancy or planning to take her as his seventh wife.
Nwoko’s Official Statement
In a statement released on Monday, the Director of Communications for Nwoko’s office addressed the allegations, calling them “baseless and a product of malicious speculation.”
“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.
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.”

Speculation about Nwoko and Ike’s alleged relationship surfaced on social media, with unverified reports suggesting that the billionaire senator was preparing to take her as his next wife. The rumors gained traction, prompting Nwoko’s team to set the record straight.
Senator Nwoko’s Focus
