Douye Diri and His ‘Side-Chic’

If there is anything that is of utmost importance to the Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri at the moment, it is the celebration of his fifth anniversary in office.

Already, the state is agog with sundry activities to mark the day in grand style.

Among political observers, Diri has continuously kept to his electoral promises to better the lot of the people of the state. Little wonder, he has wormed his way into the hearts of many in the state.

Amidst the prevailing atmosphere of jollity, the governor is slightly miffed over the trending news of his alleged romantic dalliance with a former reality TV star, Nengi Hampson.

Rumour mills also alleged that the Bayelsa State Governor is expecting a child with the 26-year-old ex-Big Brother Naija star.

However, both the governor and Nengi have refuted the claims, even as the latter has confirmed her status as an expectant mother.

Though the model was appointed as the Senior Special Assistant on Girl Child Development to the governor, credible sources confirmed to Society Watch that the purveyors of the fake news are not happy with the towering political profile of the governor, hence the “wicked rumour.”

The source, who spoke under anonymity, said: “Political enemies of His Excellency, Senator Douye Diri, Governor of Bayelsa State, are at work again. What a wicked set of people spreading wicked rumour and falsehood on a day the Prosperity Administration commenced activities marking its 5th anniversary!”
