Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State has denied responsibility over ex-BBN housemate Nengi Rebecca Hampson’s pregnancy, blaming the allegation on his political enemies.
Nengi became a trending story after a popular blogging platform alleged that Diri was responsible for the ex-BBN pregnancy.
Nengi herself has come out clean on social media to debunk the lies.
Reacting to the blogger’s report, Diri expressed shock and dismay as to why people would spread “falsehood on a day the Prosperity Administration commenced activities marking its 5th anniversary.”
In a post on his social media handle, his director of new media, Dr Kola Oredipe, said Nengi Rebecca Hampson has no personal relationship with Governor Diri, adding that “it is regrettable that purveyors of fake news are not happy with the towering political profile of the governor.”
“This is a distraction and some of us are very justified in the many reasons offered to regulate the use of the various social media.
“Sadly, while we were inaugurating a brand new road in Yenagoa, social media e-rats were spreading falsehoods about the governor.
“Governor Diri is a man of honour and dignity,” Oredipe said on his social media platform.
