Nigerian politician and senator, Ned Nwoko, has come to the defense of his wife, Regina Daniels, after she faced criticism for her comments on the ongoing nationwide protests.
Regina’s call for peace during the protests sparked backlash, but Ned Nwoko has praised her wisdom and strength in speaking up.
Last week, as the nationwide protest began, Regina Daniels shared a video on social media, urging protesters to avoid violence. She condemned the acts of violence that had marred the protests and advocated for peaceful demonstrations. However, her stance drew criticism from many who questioned her position, given her marriage to a billionaire politician.
Regina responded to the backlash via her Instagram page, making it clear that her message was not intended to garner approval but to ensure better pay and conditions for her workers. She emphasized that her intentions were rooted in concern for those affected by the current economic climate.
In a show of support, Ned Nwoko publicly commended Regina for her decision to stand with the Nigerian people during these challenging times. He praised her for her courage and highlighted the importance of addressing the frustrations that have led to the protests. According to Nwoko, the current economic and security issues plaguing Nigeria are the results of decades of poor governance.
Nwoko also called for peaceful protests, stressing that further loss of lives cannot be justified. He announced that he plans to speak and write about immediate, realistic solutions to the economic and insecurity challenges facing Nigeria in the coming days.
