Senator Ned Nwoko has spoken out following the circulation of a viral video and photo showing him with a young woman, which sparked rumors online that she might be his new wife
The viral clip, which surfaced amid his ongoing marital crisis with actress Regina Daniels, showed the Delta North senator standing beside a woman during what appeared to be an official visit.
The footage quickly fueled speculation about a possible new relationship, drawing wide attention across social media.
In a public statement shared on his verified page, Nwoko dismissed the claims as false and misleading.
He wrote:
“PUBLIC STATEMENT
A video recently brought to my attention shows a young woman who visited with her team under the Peace Ambassadors initiative, led by Ambassador Dr. Adejo Sule, and it is now being circulated online with false claims attempting to affiliate me with her. It is unfortunate what social media has become, a space where moments are easily twisted for clout and misinformation.
During the visit, photographs were taken with members of the delegation, as is customary whenever I receive guests. This is not unusual; even in public places or outdoor events, people often request to take pictures with me, and I oblige. It is therefore mischievous and malicious for anyone to exploit such gestures to fabricate false narratives.
Let me state clearly and unequivocally that the news being propagated around her visit is entirely false. I do not have any form of personal or private connection with her.
I strongly caution individuals, groups, or media outlets spreading this fabricated story to desist immediately. Any further propagation of this false narrative will attract appropriate legal action. The Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act, 2015 remains in full force and applies to anyone involved in the deliberate spread of falsehood or defamation in cyberspace.”
Nwoko’s clarification comes at a time when his marriage to Regina Daniels is under intense public scrutiny following reports of alleged domestic disputes. His response aims to dispel rumors and warn against the spread of misinformation that could worsen the controversy surrounding his personal life.
