Nollywood actress Regina Daniels’ mother, Rita, has denied accusations that she forced her daughter to get married to businessman and politician, Ned Nwoko.
In a trending resurfaced video seen by YEN.com.gh, Rita Daniels said her daughter started dating the Nigerian senator on her blind side.
She stated that after finding out, she was unhappy but was unable to break down their bond so she had no choice than to allow them to continue their relationship.
“I didn’t know when they started their relationship. With everything that was going on, I was the last person to know they were in a relationship. I called her to talk to her and she started throwing words back at me. I noticed she was beginning to get stubborn about it.” Rita Daniels said.
She added: “After Ned Nwoko won political power, he informed me that he was interested in marrying my child. I was weak, but what was I supposed to do? I stood with my daughter, was I to chase her away?”
