Senator Ned Nwoko has backed his wife, Regina Daniels, in response to the criticism she encountered for speaking out against violence during the nationwide protests.
Due to her marriage to a billionaire politician, Regina was accused by some of being out of touch after she shared a video calling for peace.
But Nwoko commended Regina’s intelligence and bravery for standing with Nigerians, acknowledging that the nation’s security and economic problems are the result of decades of mismanagement.
The senator also disclosed that in the next few days, he intends to discuss workable answers to Nigeria’s security and economic problems.
He wrote: “I commend Gina’s wisdom and strength of character in deciding on her own to sympathise and support Nigerians showing bottled-up frustrations with the apparent hopelessness in the country. I must add that the current economic and insecurity problems in Nigeria are a result of decades of bad governance. Please let everyone be peaceful with the protests, as there cannot be any justifications for more loss of lives. I have also decided that in the next few days, I will speak and write on a few realistic immediate solutions, especially on economic and insecurity problems facing our nation. As a senator, my bills and motions have been about the people. This is really my passion.”
