Senator Ned Nwoko has expressed his sympathy for men with only one wife, asserting that polygamy offers men greater stability and harmony.
During an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, the Delta North representative also addressed recent claims of domestic violence made against him by his wife, actress Regina Daniels.
When asked about managing four wives—an almost unthinkable feat for many—Nwoko paused briefly before responding, revealing his perspective on his unconventional family setup.
“That is a different topic for discussion on another day. Yes, every man should do that. The example I give is this: just imagine telling you to stand on one foot or leg. You know how difficult it is.
“But to stand on two, three, four is much more balanced. That’s just the example I give. So I feel sorry for those who have one wife because it’s difficult to stand on one leg,” he stated.
When prompted about the Bible's stance on polygamy, Nwoko responded, “The Old Testament does. I am a man of faith, but that’s why we are here." When asked if he regretted his marriage decisions, the senator simply shook his head.
“No, I don’t have any regret. I will do the same thing again. Of course, that’s the way it should be. You should marry who you want to marry,” he defended stoutly.
