Recent social media reports suggested that Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri, is expecting a child with reality TV star and former Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) housemate, Nengi Hampson. The claims spread quickly, sparking widespread reactions among Nigerians and fueling speculation about the governor’s personal life.
Official Response from Governor’s Aide
In response to the trending rumors, an aide to Governor Douye Diri has strongly denied the allegations, labeling them as false, misleading, and politically motivated. The aide clarified that there is no romantic relationship between the governor and Nengi, urging the public to dismiss the baseless speculation.
“These reports are entirely fabricated and aimed at tarnishing the governor’s image. Governor Douye Diri remains focused on his duties and has no connection to the rumors being circulated,” the aide stated.
Nengi’s Silence on the Matter
Despite the widespread rumors, Nengi Hampson has remained silent and has not addressed the claims. The reality star and entrepreneur, who gained fame from BBNaija, has been known for maintaining privacy regarding her personal life. Her silence has further fueled discussions online, with some demanding a response while others believe the rumors are unfounded.
Reactions from the Public
Social media users have expressed mixed reactions to the claims and subsequent denial:
Some criticized the spread of unverified news, urging media outlets and bloggers to refrain from misinformation.
Others speculated about why Nengi has not spoken up, suggesting that silence sometimes means there is truth to a story.
Supporters of Governor Douye Diri defended his integrity, calling for respect for his family and position.
One Twitter user wrote:
“People should stop dragging women’s names into baseless political rumors. Nengi has her own life!”
Another commented:
“The governor’s team should focus on governance and not petty gossip.”
The Trend of Political Figures and Celebrity Gossip
This is not the first time a Nigerian political figure has been linked to a celebrity in romantic controversies. Over the years, several governors, ministers, and public officials have been subjects of speculation regarding relationships with female celebrities. While some rumors turned out to be true, many were later proven to be false and fueled by political rivalry or social media sensationalism.
What Happens Next?
With Governor Douye’s aide dismissing the claims and no official statement from Nengi, it remains to be seen whether the reality star will address the controversy. Meanwhile, the governor’s office has advised the public to focus on real governance issues rather than spreading unsubstantiated rumors. While celebrity and political scandals often make headlines, it is essential to verify information before spreading it. For now, the claims about Governor Douye Diri expecting a child with Nengi remain unproven, and his administration has called on the public to disregard them.
