The Director-General of New Media to the governor of Bayelsa State, Samuel Oredipe, has refuted allegations suggesting that the governor, Diri Duoye, is the father of reality TV star Nengi Hampson’s unborn child.

On February 10, social media was flooded with claims that the 27-year-old reality TV personality was pregnant with the governor’s child, who appointed her as his Senior Special Assistant on Girl Child Development in 2020.

In a response posted on his Facebook page, Oredipe denounced the allegations as “fake news” spread by “malicious individuals.” He emphasized that there is “no personal relationship” between Nengi and the governor.

Oredipe further accused political adversaries of seeking to damage the governor’s reputation, particularly as Diri’s administration celebrated its fifth anniversary.

‘’BBN Nengi Trending Story, Nothing to do with Gov. Diri!

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 Governor Diri and it is regrettable that purveyors of fake news are not happy with the towering political profile of the Governor.

Nengi herself has come out clean on the social media to debunk their lies.

GistLover goofed again! All Fake!

This is a distraction and some of us are very justified on the many reasons offered to regulate use of the various social media.

Sadly, while we were inaugurating a brand new road in Yenagoa, social media e-rats were spreading falsehood about the Governor.

Governor Diri, is a man of honour and dignity.”
