He said the stories were fabricated

 "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."

Regina Daniels is Ned Nwoko's sixth wife.

Divinity4: 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.
