Ned Nwoko begged to marry Regina for political gain — Rita Daniels

By Tosin Brown –

Rita Daniels, the mother of actress Regina Daniels, has alleged that politician Ned Nwoko begged to marry her daughter in order to boost his political profile.

Rita made the disclosure following the ongoing marital dispute between Nwoko and her daughter, as well as the arrest of his son.

In an emotional video posted on her son’s Instagram page, Rita launched a fierce critique against Nwoko, accusing him of ingratitude.

She claimed that she and her family had worked tirelessly to shield him from public ridicule and to protect his image.

“You wanted a high star to boost your falling star. I swallowed it and kept quiet. I was covering you. The same way you went up, you will come down. If you think you can bite the finger that fed you, you will go down. People are saying money — which money?” she said.

Rita, who is also an actress, detailed her family’s sacrifices for Nwoko’s political career, alleging that her daughter had personally given him $50,000 to support his electoral campaign.

“Because we are covering you up? Regina will come saying ‘my Odogwu,’ they are making you feel funky. When you were going for the election, how much did Gina give you? $50,000 — that small girl gave you that to support your election. And the ones I supported you with — all my resources went into your election,” she said.

“You are mad. People are calling her a gold digger — which digger? Because we are covering your shame. Go and look at Ned Nwoko’s children — do they look like a billionaire’s children? Have you seen them?” she added.
