Ned Nwoko Hails Regina Daniels For Speaking Against Violent Protest Amid Backlash [Video]

Nigerian politician and Senator Ned Nwoko has defended his wife, Regina Daniels, after she faced criticism for speaking out against violent protest.

Last week, Regina Daniels shared a video on the first day of the nationwide protest, condemning the violence that erupted during the demonstrations and called for peace.

The actress’s message angered some people who criticized her for commenting on the protest while being privileged and married to a billionaire politician.

Regina responded on Instagram, stating that her message was meant to advocate for better pay for her workers, not to gain popularity.

Reacting to the controversy, Ned Nwoko praised Regina for her wisdom and courage in showing support for Nigerians who are frustrated with the country’s current state.

He acknowledged that Nigeria’s economic and security issues stem from decades of poor governance and urged protesters to remain peaceful to avoid further loss of lives.

The politician also mentioned that he plans to share some practical solutions to these problems in the coming days.

Nwoko emphasized that as a senator, his focus has always been on addressing the needs of the people, which he considers his passion.

“I commend Gina’s wisdom and strength of character in deciding on her own to sympathise and support Nigerians showing bottled-up frustrations with the apparent hopelessness in the country.

“I must add that the current economic and insecurity problems in Nigeria are a result of decades of bad governance.

“Please let everyone be peaceful with the protests, as there cannot be any justifications for more loss of lives.

“I have also decided that in the next few days, I will speak and write on a few realistic immediate solutions, especially on economic and insecurity problems facing our nation.

“As a senator, my bills and motions have been about the people. This is really my passion,” he wrote.
