Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North Senatorial District, has addressed the controversies surrounding his six-year marriage to Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, asserting that recent stories are politically motivated and aimed at tarnishing his reputation.
Speaking through his Communication and Technical Action Team, Mr. Nwoko clarified the ongoing age debate, emphasizing that Regina Daniels, born on October 10, 2000, married him at 19 not 17 as widely claimed. “Her mother personally brought her to me during the traditional marriage ceremony. I never pursued her,” he stated.
He also acknowledged Regina’s past struggles with substance use and bipolar medication, highlighting that her medical history is verifiable. “Enemies of progress are manip+lating her for their own agendas. If there were any secrets to disclose, she would have done so. All circulating stories are fabricated and amount to cr+minal defamation,” he added.
On his marriage, Nwoko emphasized that it followed customary traditions. “Polygamy is accepted under our customs. I married her honourably, gave her a name, and treated her with dignity. My affection for Regina has always been genuine, and anyone who has worked with me can attest to the care and attention I gave her,” he said.
The senator described the controversies as politically driven att@cks meant to halt his developmental initiatives. He cited claims of land grabbing in his hometown as false, noting that the land he acquired was legally purchased for the establishment of the University of Sports, a project benefiting the community.
He also accused critics, including Omoyele Sowore and Jebose, of exploiting Regina’s vulnerability to settle old scores. “Those using her current condition to launch att@cks against me, knowing they have no case, will eventually face justice. That she has made no credible allegations against me confirms there is nothing illegal in my actions,” Nwoko concluded.
