Amid the speculation however, Nengi publicly debunked the speculation on her social media accounts.
Reacting to the reports, Governor Diri expressed shock and disappointment, questioning why such falsehoods were being spread, particularly on the day his administration marked its 5th anniversary.
His Director of New Media, Dr. Kola Oredipe, addressed the claims in a post on social media, dismissing them as baseless fabrications.
Oredipe said: “Nengi Rebecca Hampson has no personal relationship with Governor Diri. It is regrettable that purveyors of fake news are not happy with the towering political profile of the governor.”
Oredipe further criticized the spread of misinformation on social media, calling it an attempt to distract from the administration’s achievements.
“This is a distraction, and some of us are very justified in the many reasons offered to regulate the use of various social media platforms,” the Governor’s aide added.

Describing Governor Diri as a man of honor and dignity, Oredipe reaffirmed that the allegations were politically motivated and had no factual basis.
