Senator Ned Nwoko has dismissed claims suggesting he married Regina Daniels when she was 17 years old.
The lawmaker, who took to social media on Thursday morning, described the claims as “entirely untrue and misleading”.
“For clarity, during my first meeting with Regina, I asked her age, and she told me she was 21 years old,” Senator Nwoko posted on his X handle, attaching the Nollywood actress’s voter card to buttress his argument.
“I further asked if she had any documents to support this, and she presented her INEC voter’s card, which clearly shows that she was born on October 10th, 1998. I informed her that I would keep this document in my possession, and I have done so since that day.”
It has come to my attention that false claims are being circulated by Regina, suggesting that I married her when she was 17 years old. These claims are entirely untrue and misleading.

According to him, since their marriage took place six years ago, Daniels is 27 years old, and he asked the public to ignore any suggestion to the contrary.
“According to all verifiable records, our marriage took place six years ago, which means Regina is 27 years old today. Any suggestion that I married her at 17 is false and should not be accepted by the public,” the Delta North lawmaker said.
