Nollywood actress Regina Daniel’s husband, Ned Nwoko has been dragged on Twitter after the remarks he made about Peter Obi’s presidential ambition.
In an interview with BBC, Ned Nwoko said that Peter Obi is a good man and an economic strategist who has the capacity to play a significant role in the government.
He added that although he has the massive support of the youths, he wouldn’t be able to achieve victory because Labour Party does not have the required structure to rule Nigeria.
He averred that Peter Obi shouldn’t have exited the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and still wishes Peter Obi could come back to the party.
Ned who described Obi as a capitalist said he will do well if any ministry pertaining to the economy is handed over to him.
Speaking further, he affirmed that the population of Nigeria is on the rise and the Labour Party is incapable of handling the issues of the country.
The lawyer also praised his party for making their primary election a transparent one and claimed Atiku Abubakar is one of the most experienced men to rule Nigeria.
Ultimately, he called on Nigerians not to let tribe or religion influence their choice of candidates rather they should be concerned about picking the right person to fix the country.
This statement has since been met with stiff opposition and condemnation on Twitter.
For some, Nwoko should stick to being married to his celebrity wife while others slammed him for being a political novice.
Here are some of the reactions on Twitter following Nwoko’s comments.
Regina should better call her papa abi husband "Ned Nwoko" to order. His main concern should be choosing more teenage girls to marry.

You don't subscribe to zoning, but believe in merit. Now you see merit and began to talk about structure.
Ned Nwoko is among the old corrupt order that need not to be in governance anymore.

I saw Ned Nwoko on the trend table and thought he must have acquired a brand new wife to increase the harem. I was only disappointed to read that he made a half baked opinion on Peter Obi and Igbos. Small yansh wan shake🤣

Ned Nwoko that was also a beneficiary of the corrupt practices rife in Nigeria also has an opinion about Peter Obi? He had better concentrate on his polygamous home and leave nation building and politics to those who have no time for acquiring new wives.

Ned Nwoko is the least person you can even call a politician in Nigeria, talk less of him having an opinion on Peter Obi and presidency . If not for Regina Daniels influence, nobody even knows him before now.

Even Ned Nwoko is talking…
They are all kicking against Peter Obi because they know his administration won't be business as usual. They know they will not be receiving free money to support their frivolities. That's why they are fighting hard to disqualify him.
Mtcheeeww 😏
