Dr. Michael Nwoko, Chief of Staff to Senator Ned Munir Nwoko, has refuted recent social media allegations made by one Mr. Chucks Nwoko against the Nwoko royal family of Idumuje-Ugboko and the distinguished senator, describing them as false, malicious, and mischievously motivated.
In a statement issued to journalists, Dr. Nwoko said the comments attributed to Mr. Chucks Nwoko were not only ill-informed but also a deliberate attempt to drag a respected royal family into needless controversy.
He clarified that the Nwoko royal family completely dissociates itself from the reckless and misleading claims, stressing that the individual in question is neither a descendant nor connected by ancestry to the royal lineage of Idumuje-Ugboko.
According to the Chief of Staff, credible genealogical and traditional records confirm that Mr. Chucks Nwoko’s paternal roots trace to the western part of Nigeria, thereby negating any claim of royal or ancestral ties to the Nwoko dynasty.
“It is therefore audacious, even laughable, for him to assume a voice or claim any authority on matters concerning the Nwoko household,” Dr. Nwoko stated.
He further described the viral video released by Mr. Chucks Nwoko as malicious and mischievous, suggesting that it reflects either ignorance of the truth or the influence of external interests determined to malign Senator Ned Nwoko.
“This is a classic case of someone seeking cheap relevance by throwing stones at a name far greater than his imagination can comprehend,” he added.
Dr. Nwoko emphasized that Senator Prince Ned Munir Nwoko remains one of Delta State’s most distinguished sons—an accomplished leader whose record of service, philanthropy, and developmental impact speaks for itself.
He highlighted the Senator’s far-reaching contributions to Idumuje-Ugboko, Delta North, and Delta State at large, citing his investments in education, youth empowerment, community infrastructure, and sports development.
In the National Assembly, Dr. Nwoko noted, Senator Nwoko has distinguished himself as one of the most consistent and productive lawmakers in the 10th Senate, having sponsored over thirty-one bills and moved several motions addressing critical national issues.
“His approach to public service is deliberate and deeply rooted in purpose. He is focused, visionary, and guided by an unflinching belief that leadership is a moral duty—not a platform for theatrics,” Dr. Nwoko remarked.
While describing the recent social media episode as an unnecessary distraction, Dr. Nwoko maintained that such antics will not deter Senator Nwoko from his mission of effective representation and people-oriented service.
“Those who trade in falsehoods will always find themselves stranded in the wilderness of irrelevance, while men of purpose continue to write their names in the annals of progress,” he stated.
Reaffirming the unity of the Nwoko royal family, Dr. Nwoko stressed that the household stands firmly behind Senator Ned Nwoko and takes great pride in his achievements.
“Mr. Chucks Nwoko speaks only for himself—and perhaps for those who feed his delusions—but certainly not for the Nwoko dynasty or the people of Idumuje-Ugboko,” he declared.
Dr. Nwoko concluded by reiterating that Senator Nwoko remains undistracted by the noise of mischief-makers and continues to focus on his legislative duties and humanitarian commitments.
“His work is visible in the schools he has built, the bills he has sponsored, the opportunities he has created, and the countless lives he has touched.
“Those who build, as the Distinguished Senator continues to do, will always have their legacy rooted in the lives they have transformed,” he affirmed.
