Senator Ned Nwoko has challenged the recent negative drug test result of his estranged wife, Regina Daniels, claiming it reflects only short-term abstinence rather than genuine sobriety.
In a statement on his official X account, Nwoko’s communication team emphasized that recovery and accountability require sustained professional support, not occasional social media posts.
“Temporary abstinence does not erase the underlying challenges. Recovery and accountability are not matters for public engagement; they require sustained effort, honesty, and professional support,” the statement read.

The statement also questioned the conditions under which the test was conducted, citing earlier assessments from reputable centers in Nigeria and South Africa, which reportedly showed Daniels tested positive for substances such as cocaine and marijuana.
Nwoko claimed he attempted to support Daniels privately before the matter became public, but she allegedly refused help. The senator stressed that earlier findings, compiled by independent centers, are professionally documented and can be defended in court.
“Presenting a later negative result as proof that no prior use occurred is misleading. At best, it reflects abstinence over a period of time. It does not invalidate earlier medical reports or the need for intervention,” the statement added.

The senator referenced a court judgment granting him custody of their children, which required Daniels to undergo supervised therapy. Nwoko said he encouraged Daniels to seek professional care privately, maintaining her relationship with the children while ensuring accountability.
The feud between the couple began in October 2025, when Daniels accused Nwoko of domestic violence and coercion—a claim he denies, attributing the issues to her alleged substance use disorder.
