Senator Ned Nwoko, who represents Delta North, has finally opened up about his marriage to Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, addressing weeks of speculation, accusations, and viral clips that set social media on fire.
The businessman and politician not only defended his controversial polygamous lifestyle but also denied claims that he had been violent towards his wife.
Speaking on Channels TV’s Politics Today on Sunday, the politician addressed the marital crisis with his actress wife, Regina Daniels, directly.
He made astonishing claims about the merits of multiple marriages and firmly rejected the explosive allegations of domestic violence.
In his own words, Ned painted himself as a man that has been misunderstood, while standing firmly by his tradition and choices.
Senator Nwoko was asked about the status of his marriage with youngest wife Regina Daniels, following the disturbing video of 25-year-old Nollywood actress that went viral. A teary clip showed the actress crying and saying she couldn’t “stand the violence anymore.” In the footage, she was heard lamenting, “In Ned Nwoko’s house, I am nothing. But in my own house, I am a Queen.”
The video triggered outrage across social media, with many Nigerians accusing the lawmaker of domestic abuse. However, Senator Nwoko firmly rejected the claim, saying the story was false and that he had never raised a hand on any of his wives.
The lawmaker emphatically stated: “No, come on. You know I am not a violent person. I respect my wives and love them and my kids.”
