Chika Ike, an actress, has denied being pregnant with Senator Ned Nwoko, who is poised to marry for the seventh time.
Over the weekend, rumours circulated that the Delta Senator and the actress were expecting a child together, and that Ned intends to marry Chika as his seventh wife.
Chika responded to the story on her Instagram page, saying it is false. She maintained that Ned is not the father of her child and that she does not wish to become anyone’s seventh wife because polygamy is not for her.
Her statement reads:
‘’Endlessly blessed, forever grateful..
“A MUST READ !!!!
“FALSE! FALSE! FALSE!
“There have been all sorts of lies paddled about me in the media for years but I always treated them like what they are, RUMOURS THAT NEEDED NO RESPONSE.
But this is different, this is about my CHILD…. You all do not know anything about me! Because you CAN’T! Except I choose to disclose. Yes, I’m that PRIVATE!
“Ned isn’t the Father of my child and whoever name you might come up with later with your guessing games and like I’ve said before I’m not about to be anyone’s 7th wife! Polygamy isn’t for me .
“I’ve been pregnant for months now and no one even had a clue about my pregnancy until I announced it and you all think you’ll know who the father of my child is or anything happening in my life? Very laughable and Clueless!
“Keep digging and coming up with your false news. I don’t care about rumours because I understand it comes with my career choice and the only reason I’m responding to this rumour is because this is about my child. My privacy is my peace and NO ONE can unsettle me. I’m basking in the euphoria of my pregnancy and that’s all that matters to me now.”
