Senator Ned Nwoko has expressed sympathy for men who choose to remain monogamous, insisting that polygamy provides men with better stability and balance in marriage.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Sunday, the lawmaker representing Delta North said, “I feel sorry for those who have one wife. Just imagine standing on one leg — it’s difficult. But with two, three, or four, you’re more balanced. That’s the example I give.”
When reminded that the Bible does not support polygamy, Nwoko responded, “The Old Testament does. I am a man of faith. But that’s not what we are here for.”
Nwoko, who has four wives, said he stands firmly by his marital choices. “No, I don’t have any regret. I would do the same thing again. You should marry who you want to marry,” he declared.
The senator also refuted social media allegations linking him to domestic violence against his actress wife, Regina Daniels, calling the claims baseless.
“I am not a violent person. I respect my wives and love them and my kids,” he said.
His comments follow online reports of tension in his household after Regina Daniels showcased a newly acquired mansion, captioning her post, “In my house, I am a queen. I needed a roof over my head, so I got this for me and my family.”
