Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North, has expressed sympathy for men who have only one wife, asserting that polygamy provides greater stability and balance in marital life.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Sunday, the lawmaker likened having multiple wives to standing on several legs. “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,” Nwoko stated.
When reminded that the Bible does not promote polygamy, the senator responded by pointing to the Old Testament, saying, “The Old Testament does. I am a man of faith. But that’s not what we are here for.”
Nwoko, who is married to four women, said he has no regrets about 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 added.
Addressing recent allegations of domestic violence involving his actress wife, Regina Daniels, the senator dismissed the claims as false and unfounded. “I am not a violent person. I respect my wives and love them and my kids,” he emphasized.
His remarks follow reports of perceived tension in his household after Regina Daniels showcased a new mansion on social media, captioning it: “In my house, I am a queen. I needed a roof over my head, so I got this for me and my family.”
