Senator Ned Nwoko has defended his wife, Regina Daniels, after she faced backlash for condemning violence during nationwide protests.
Critics accused Regina of being out of touch due to her marriage to a billionaire politician.
Nwoko praised Regina’s wisdom and courage for supporting Nigerians and acknowledged the country’s economic and security challenges, which he attributes to decades of poor governance.
He also announced plans to share practical solutions to these issues in the coming days.
“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.”
