Nigerian governor debunks rumors linking him to former BBN celebrity pregnancy
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri, has denied allegations that he is responsible for the pregnancy of former Big Brother Naija housemate, Nengi Rebecca Hampson.

The rumors gained traction after a popular blogging platform alleged that Governor Diri was involved in the ex-BBN star’s pregnancy.

However, reports indicate that the governor dismissed the claims, attributing them to political opponents attempting to tarnish his reputation.

Expressing shock and disbelief, Diri questioned the timing of the false allegations, especially as they surfaced on the day his administration marked its fifth anniversary.

His Director of New Media, Dr. Kola Oredipe, also addressed the issue in a social media post, categorically dismissing the claims as baseless fabrications.

“Nengi Rebecca Hampson has no personal relationship with Governor Diri. It is regrettable that purveyors of fake news are unhappy with the governor’s rising political profile,” Oredipe stated.

He further criticized the spread of misinformation on social media, describing it as an attempt to divert attention from the administration’s achievements.

“This is a distraction, and it reinforces the need for stricter regulations on the use of social media,” he said.

“Sadly, while we were inaugurating a brand-new road in Yenagoa, social media e-rats were busy spreading falsehoods about the governor.”

Oredipe reaffirmed that the governor is a man of honor and dignity, emphasizing that the allegations were politically motivated and had no factual basis.

In response to the controversy, Nengi also took to social media to deny being pregnant for Governor Diri, although she confirmed her pregnancy.

She clarified that the allegations were not only an attack on her but also on people she deeply respects.

“As much as I believe social media lies aren’t worth my time, I’ve come to accept that we live in a world where people spread falsehoods without limits,” she wrote.

“Let me be clear—I am not pregnant for any governor. I’ve chosen to speak up because this isn’t just an attack on me; it involves people I hold in the highest regard. I won’t allow a beautiful, personal part of my life to be turned into something ugly.”

In her words, “As much as I believe social media lies aren’t worth my time, I’ve come to accept that we live in a world where people are quick to spread lies without limits so let me be clear, I’m not pregnant for any Governor.”

“I’ve chosen to speak coz this isn’t just an attack on me, it involves people I hold in the highest regard, and I won’t allow a beautiful, personal part of my life be turned into something ugly.”

“While I continue to mind my own business and enjoy my pregnancy in PEACE, I wish y’all Love anda happy Valentine’s weekend.”
