Ned Nwoko reacts to wife, Regina Daniels’ controversial stand on Nationwide Protests
Nigerian billionaire Senator Ned Nwoko has responded to the controversy surrounding his wife, Regina Daniels, following her comments on the ongoing nationwide protests.
Last week, Regina Daniels faced backlash after sharing a video condemning violence and calling for peace on the first day of the protests.
Critics accused her of being out of touch with the realities of ordinary Nigerians due to her privileged status.
In response to the backlash, Regina Daniels clarified on Instagram that her comments were aimed at advocating for better wages for her employees, not seeking public approval.She expressed her concern for the economic struggles faced by many Nigerians. Surprisingly, Ned Nwoko stepped up to support his wife, lauding her for her wisdom and courage.
“I commend Gina’s wisdom and strength of character in deciding on her own to sympathize 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.
