Rita Daniels Takes Strong Action Against Ned Nwoko’s Senatorial Bid Amid Worsened Family Feud

  • Rita Daniels was spotted dancing and singing at a consultation visit for Sen. Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, publicly declaring her support for his 2027 bid
  • The move came after months of a messy separation between Regina Daniels and Ned Nwoko, fueled by allegations of domestic violence
  • Insiders suggest that Rita’s public display of loyalty to Okowa is a calculated blow to Nwoko’s political future following the arrest of her son

Nollywood actress and producer Rita Daniels has reportedly taken a political stance that has drawn attention, following claims that she is not backing her estranged in-law, Ned Nwoko, ahead of the 2027 elections.

The development was disclosed by Ossai Ovie Success, an aide to the Delta State governor, who alleged that Rita Daniels has instead endorsed Ifeanyi Okowa for the Delta North senatorial seat.

According to the aide, the actress attended Okowa’s consultation visit to Aniocha South Local Government Area, where she was seen actively participating.

Sharing details of the visit, Ossai claimed Rita Daniels publicly showed support during the gathering.

“Nollywood actress and producer Rita Daniels, estranged mother-in-law of Senator Ned Nwoko, has publicly endorsed Sen Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa’s bid for the Delta North Senatorial seat in 2027,” he wrote.

He added that she was seen dancing, singing, and praising Okowa in front of party stakeholders and women groups.

The appearance has drawn attention because Nwoko is also believed to have political interests tied to the same region.

The reported endorsement came amid strained relations between Rita Daniels and Ned Nwoko.

The tension had escalated after actress Regina Daniels, Rita’s daughter, reportedly separated from the politician over allegations of domestic issues.

Further reports also suggested that Nwoko accused his estranged wife of drug use — an allegation that intensified the situation.

The relationship reportedly worsened after one of Rita Daniels’ sons was arrested over alleged cyberbullying.
