Ned Nwoko, senator representing Delta North, has addressed
the controversy surrounding his wife, Regina Daniels’ age at the time of their
marriage.
There has been a debate in recent days over the actress’s
age at the time she married the politician amid their ongoing public marital
crisis.
In a recent statement by Nwoko’s communication team, the
politician clarified that he married Daniels “honourably” at age 19 — contrary to the 17-year-old claims on social
media.
The 64-year-old lawmaker said the marriage was witnessed
publicly, with her family fully involved, adding that her mother “personally
brought her to me”.
Nwoko emphasised that his relationship with Daniels was
built on respect and affection, saying his “world revolved around Regina” and
that he treated her with “dignity and care”.
“For clarity, Regina Daniels was born on October 10, 2000.
If she has been married for six years, that means she got married at 19 years
old, not 17,’’ the statement reads in part.
“The public witnessed her family giving her out in marriage,
and there were witnesses to the fact that her mother personally brought her to
me.
“Our customs and traditions do not frown upon polygamy. What
I did was to marry her honorably, give her a name, and treat her with dignity.
“Beyond the social media lifestyle, my world revolved around
Regina. I pampered her and cared for her deeply, something everyone who has
worked with me across Delta, Abuja, and beyond can testify to.”
Their conflict began in October when a viral video showed
Daniels in tears, accusing her husband of domestic violence.
Nwoko later fired back, claiming his wife was struggling
with drug and alcohol addiction.
Last week, Daniels admitted to using hard drugs but shifted
the focus back to her husband, alleging he orchestrated her addiction as part
of a pattern of control and manipulation.
