Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri, has dismissed widespread social media rumours alleging that he is responsible for the pregnancy of reality TV star, Nengi Hampson.
The speculation, which recently gained traction online, claimed that Nengi had given birth to the governor’s child, with some reports even suggesting he has four wives.
On Monday, social media was abuzz with claims that the 27-year-old former Big Brother Naija star was expecting a child with the governor, who appointed her as Senior Special Assistant on Girl Child Development in 2020.
Reacting to the rumours on his Facebook page on Tuesday, the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Samuel Oredipe, condemned the allegations, describing them as “fake news” spread by “wicked people.”
He clarified that Nengi and Diri have no personal relationship beyond her official appointment.
He further accused political opponents of fabricating the story to tarnish the governor’s reputation as his administration marked its fifth anniversary.
