Nigerian billionaire and political heavyweight, Senator Ned Nwoko, has fiercely shut down swirling rumors that he splurged on a luxury car for the rising star of Nigerian comedy, Success Madubuike, popularly known as Aunty Success.
The whispers have been gaining traction ever since the young content creator, who shot to fame under the mentorship of Mark Angel, celebrated her birthday on July 19, 2024, with a splash of dazzling photos that lit up social media.
The speculations hit fever pitch, after a throwback picture of Nwoko holding a much younger Aunty Success went viral, igniting talk that the senator had marked her special day with a lavish car gift.
However, in a statement released on Friday in Abuja, as reported by The PUNCH, Nwoko, who represents the Delta North Senatorial District, didn’t just dismiss these reports—he obliterated them.
He didn’t mince words as he slammed the car gift rumors as baseless fabrications designed to tarnish his reputation. And as if that wasn’t enough, he also addressed the bizarre and disturbing claims of his supposed death in Switzerland, labeling them as nothing more than malicious lies.
“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.”
