Senator Ned Nwoko has revealed that he never pursued Regina Daniels or coerced her into marriage.
The Delta North lawmaker, whose marriage has dominated headlines for weeks, insisted that, contrary to public perception, he was never interested in marrying the actress
In a statement released by his Communication and Technical Action Team, the politician claimed that Regina’s mother, Rita Daniels, personally introduced her daughter to him for marriage.

Nwoko said his union with the actress was not the result of manipulation or power play, as widely speculated.
He stated:
“For clarity, Regina Daniels was born on October 10, 2000. If she has been married to me for six years, that means she married at 19, not 17. the public witnessed her family giving her away in marriage. There were witnesses to the fact that her mother personally brought her to me. I never went after her.”
The statement appeared to be Nwoko’s attempt to defend himself against the widespread criticism that followed recent revelations by Regina, who accused him of domestic violence and emotional abuse.
The couple’s relationship, once portrayed as glamorous, has taken a dramatic turn. Regina, in a post two weeks ago, announced she was “no longer interested” in the marriage, citing years of alleged abuse.
In response, Nwoko accused the actress of substance abuse, insisting she needed rehabilitation.
The public feud has since deepened the rift, dividing fans and sparking national debate on power imbalance in celebrity marriages.
However, Regina Daniels has revealed that age might not deter her from love in another life despite the storm surrounding her marriage to Ned Nwoko.
The actress responded to a curious fan on Instagram about whether she would consider marrying an older man again.

The actress also expressed relief after her brother, Sammy West, was released from police custody, saying one of her battles was finally over.

Ned Nwoko is over-explaining - Sam Dede
A public affairs commentator, Sam Dede, stated that Ned Nwoko should have given a legally sound response rather than going back and forth.
He stated:
"At this point, Ned Nwoko is saying far more than he needs to. In the middle of a smear campaign, over-explaining can easily backfire and make him look defensive. A more measured, legally guided response would serve him better than constantly revealing personal details that only fuel public drama."
