Rita Daniels, mother of actress and filmmaker Regina Daniels, has broken her silence for the first time on her daughter’s ongoing marital dispute with Senator Ned Nwoko, who represents Delta North.
The couple’s marriage came under public scrutiny after Regina accused the lawmaker of physically assaulting her, stating that she could no longer continue in the marriage due to the alleged abuse.
Mr. Nwoko, however, denied the claims, attributing Regina’s behaviour to substance abuse.

Rita Daniels had remained silent throughout the controversy until Monday night, when Regina alleged on her Instagram Story that her estranged husband had ordered the arrest of her elder brother and sister, while also expressing concern for her younger sister’s safety.
In reaction to the arrest of her children, Rita posted a video on one of her son’s Instagram pages, accusing the 64-year-old senator of marrying her daughter for fame and personal gain.
She claimed that Nwoko sought a “crown” and a partner with “a high star” to bolster his declining public image.
Rita further alleged that both she and Regina financially supported Nwoko’s senatorial campaign ahead of the 2023 general elections.
She said:“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? Because I’m covering you. Regina will call you my Odogwu, and has made you feel funky. When you were going for the election, how much did Regina give to you? $50,000, that’s what she gave you to support your election. Is she a child? And the one I supported you with. All my resources are right inside your election; you are mad. Because people are saying she’s a gold digger. What digger? Because we’re covering your shame. Go and look at Ned Nwoko’s children if they look like billionaire children.”
Her statements highlight deepening tensions within the family and add a new dimension to the ongoing public dispute between Regina Daniels and her estranged husband.

Truth is, she married him for money, if not, why will a young girl of her age agree to be a 7th wife? Leave all these damage control stories of unimaginable lies and pretense. Again, let’s agree she spent $50k in his election. But the question is, where did she get the $50k from? From acting movies? Please, tell that to children. If she did spent that much In his election, then she only spent his money in his election. That’s all. I believe that as family, they should resolve this matter behind closed doors, not in public. Both parties should remember the good times, endeavor to forgive each other, and then move forward in life’s journey.
