Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North, has broken his silence with a new public message amid the online uproar surrounding his wife, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels.
Taking to his official X (formerly Twitter) page, the businessman and politician shared a detailed post celebrating his recent achievement as the Best Performing Senator of the Year at the prestigious Democracy Heroes Award Africa 2025.
While the post did not make any direct reference to the viral video featuring his wife, its timing sparked speculation, given that social media was flooded with discussions and rumours about alleged tension in their marriage.
Regina Daniels’ Viral Video Sparks Online Frenzy
Earlier, a video clip showing Regina Daniels visibly distressed and in tears went viral across several platforms, prompting widespread concern from fans and Nollywood colleagues alike.
In the short footage, the young actress was seen crying uncontrollably while people around her tried to console her. The video quickly gained traction on X, TikTok, and Instagram, with users speculating about what might have gone wrong in her marriage to the billionaire senator.
Some online users suggested that the video reflected ongoing issues in the couple’s relationship, while others dismissed it as either taken out of context or potentially linked to a movie scene yet to be released.
Despite the wave of reactions, Regina Daniels herself has not made any official statement to clarify the video, further fueling curiosity among her supporters and followers.
Ned Nwoko Shifts Focus to Political Milestones
In the midst of the viral saga, Senator Nwoko appeared unfazed as he turned attention to his political career. He shared a series of photos and clips from the Democracy Heroes Award Africa 2025 event, which he attended alongside his Moroccan wife, Laila Charani.
The post highlighted his growing influence and achievements in the Nigerian Senate, particularly in advocating for development projects in Delta North and promoting legislative reforms for youth and community empowerment.
Expressing gratitude for the recognition, he wrote:
“This award is not just about me; it belongs to Anioma, to Delta North, and to every Nigerian who believes in purposeful leadership. I dedicate it to the late Sir Dennis Osadebay, a visionary before his time. His dream for Anioma State continues through our shared pursuit of justice and representation.”
His words resonated with many of his political supporters, though others pointed out that the message came at a sensitive moment when attention was focused on his wife’s emotional video.
Mixed Reactions Trail Nwoko’s Post
Following his update, social media users expressed divided opinions. Some commended the senator for staying focused on his duties despite personal controversies, while others interpreted his silence on the matter as a deliberate attempt to avoid public drama.
One user wrote, “This man is not even moved. He’s still posting about politics while his wife’s video is trending.” Another added, “He’s trying to show he’s above gossip and distractions.”
As of the time of this report, neither Ned Nwoko nor Regina Daniels has issued any official clarification regarding the viral clip or the alleged marital dispute.
Meanwhile, fans continue to speculate and debate across social media platforms, keeping the topic one of the most trending stories in Nollywood and political circles this week.

Observers note that the Nwokos have often faced intense public scrutiny since their marriage in 2019, given their notable age difference and public lifestyle. Nonetheless, both have consistently presented a united front during public appearances and family events.
For now, all eyes remain on the couple as fans await further clarification or a possible joint statement addressing the situation.
