As if all was structured to be Valentine’s eve drama, major issues are unfolding in the realms of some prominent Nigerians.
Among them are Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State and music star Tuface Idibia.
While Diri has denied any romantic affair with Big Brother Naija star, Nengi Hampson, Tuface has shocked the world by declaring that Edo State lawmaker, Natasha Owaru, is his new love.
This is coming days after he declared his marriage with Annie Idibia was over.
On the part of Diri, there had been speculation that he impregnated sweet-rose Nengi, with some reports even suggesting he has four wives.
However, Governor Diri has categorically denied the claims, describing them as baseless and unfounded.
Nengi herself had taken to her X handle to debunk the claims, stating, “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 and a happy Valentine’s weekend.”
The governor’s Director-General on New Media, Samuel Kolawole Oredipe, attributed the rumors to the governor’s political enemies, stating that they are “spreading falsehood” to distract from the governor’s accomplishments.
He wrote: “Political enemies of His Excellency Senator Douye Diri, Governor of Bayelsa State, are at work again. What a wicked set of people spreading falsehood on a day the Prosperity Administration commenced activities marking its 5th anniversary.
“Nengi Rebecca Hampson has no personal relationship with the governor. Nengi has come out on social media to debunk the lies. This is a distraction, and some of us are very justified in the many reasons offered to regulate the use of various social media.”
Meanwhile, Tuface has urged the world to help talk to Natasha to marry him.
He wrote on Instagram: ‘Now this is my world. Make una help me beg am to marry me.’
