The lawmaker representing Delta North, while speaking on Channels Television on Saturday, October 26, said:
“I feel sorry for those who have one wife. Just imagine standing on one leg, it’s difficult. But with two, three, or four, you’re more balanced. That’s the example I give."
When reminded that the Bible discouraged polygamy, Nwoko countered, saying:
“The Old Testament does. I am a man of faith. But that’s not what we are here for.”
The senator, who is married to six wives, maintained he had no regrets about his marital decisions.
“No, I don’t have any regret. I would do the same thing again. You should marry who you want to marry,” he said.

He also dismissed allegations of domestic violence involving his wife, Regina Daniels, describing them as false.
“I am not a violent person. I respect my wives and love them and my kids,” he added.
