Senator Ned Nwoko, a Nigerian millionaire and political heavyweight, has angrily denied rumours that he purchased an expensive car for the emerging star of Nigerian comedy, Success Madubuike, widely recognised as Aunty Success.
The murmurs have been spreading since the young content creator, who rose to prominence under Mark Angel’s supervision, celebrated her birthday on July 19, 2024, with a slew of spectacular photographs that lit up social media.
The conjecture reached a fever pitch when a flashback photo of Nwoko cradling a much younger Aunty Success went viral, sparking rumours that the senator had celebrated her big day with an extravagant car present.
However, in a statement made on Friday in Abuja, as reported by The PUNCH, Nwoko, who represents the Delta North Senatorial District, not only dismissed but also wiped these stories.
He didn’t mince words when he dismissed the car gift rumours as false fabrications intended to harm his reputation. As if that wasn’t enough, he also addressed the strange and distressing accusations about his purported death in Switzerland, describing them as malicious falsehoods.
“In recent weeks, I have also been subjected to unwarranted insults and accusations regarding the purchase of a car for a little content creator,” said Nwoko.
“These claims are baseless and misleading. Whether this is a misguided joke or a deliberate act of malice, it has gone too far and will not be tolerated.
“I am taking immediate legal action against those spreading these falsehoods. Arrests will be made, and anyone involved should be prepared to face the consequences.
“This is not a matter of influence; it is about holding those responsible accountable for their harmful actions.”
