Pere responded to a viral video where a woman claimed to be a family friend of Ooja's husband, stating he had only been married once before. Expressing frustration with online blogs spreading unverified information, Pere highlighted the importance of verifying facts before publishing stories. He emphasized that there is nothing wrong with someone who has been divorced remarrying.
In his own words posted on social media, Pere criticized blogs for prioritizing sensational and often unconfirmed stories over accuracy. He stressed that Ugo's cousin, whom he trusts, corroborated that Ugo had only been married once.
Previously, shortly after Sharon Ooja and Ugo Nwoke's traditional wedding in Abuja, a blog alleged that Ugo was previously married three times, all of which ended in divorce.
