Ned Nwoko Accuses ‘Pull-Down Syndicate’ Of Using Regina Daniels To Tarnish His Image
Senator Ned Nwoko has accused what he described as a “pull-down-Ned syndicate” of exploiting his marital issues with actress Regina Daniels to smear his reputation and damage his public image.
In a statement released by his Communication and Technical Action Team in Abuja, the Delta North senator claimed that a group of individuals who had long targeted him were now using Regina’s situation to launch coordinated attacks against him.
“These individuals are trying to criminalize me before the international community. It’s a coordinated gang-up,” the statement read.
Nwoko dismissed recent allegations linking him to land grabbing in his hometown, saying the land in question was lawfully allocated for his University of Sports project. “Anyone who seeks progress in this country is often attacked by their own people,” he said.
He also accused certain individuals of manipulating Regina, whom he described as “a young woman who is unwell and has admitted to drug use.” According to him, these people were taking advantage of her vulnerability to settle old scores.
“If she had any credible allegations against me, she would have said them by now,” Nwoko stated. “Those spreading lies will eventually face justice for criminal defamation.”
The senator further alleged that Regina had a history of substance abuse, backed by medical evidence and testimonies from her former schoolmates. “She openly admitted to using drugs and being on bipolar medication. Yet, people continue to twist this to destroy me,” he added.
Nwoko also addressed controversies surrounding Regina’s age at the time of their marriage. “She was born on October 10, 2000. If we’ve been married for six years, then she was 19, not 17,” he clarified.
He maintained that his marriage to Regina was honorable, traditional, and public. “Our marriage has always been transparent. I gave her my name and treated her with love and dignity. Anyone close to me can testify to that,” he said.
Calling the situation a politically motivated witch-hunt, Nwoko claimed his enemies were using Regina as a weak point to attack him and distract from his achievements. “This is nothing but a desperate attempt to stop my developmental projects and destroy my reputation now that I am a senator,” he concluded.
