“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 said.
When asked about the biblical stance on polygamy, Nwoko countered that the Old Testament supported it, adding:
“I am a man of faith. But that’s not what we are here for.”
The 63-year-old senator, who is married to four wives including popular Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, 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 stated.
Addressing reports of alleged domestic tension in his household, Nwoko dismissed the claims as false and malicious, stressing that he treats his family with love and respect.
“I am not a violent person. I respect my wives and love them and my kids,” he added.
His comments follow social media speculation after Regina Daniels recently unveiled a new mansion with the caption:
“In my house, I am a queen. I needed a roof over my head, so I got this for me and my family.”
Nwoko maintained that his household remains united, asserting that polygamy, when practised with fairness and affection, can create a strong and stable family structure.
