In a significant show of support, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has publicly commended Nollywood actress Regina Daniels for undergoing and sharing the results of a drug test. The senator's heartfelt message comes after the actress posted a video on Wednesday, January 7, 2026, confirming she tested negative for illicit substances.
A Senator's Heartfelt Endorsement
Joining a chorus of fans online, Senator Natasha Akpoti took to the comment section of Regina Daniels' social media post to express her admiration. The lawmaker wrote a supportive note, stating, "Your journey is yours to OWN and I am so proud of you my darling." This public endorsement from a serving senator has added a new dimension to the ongoing public discussion surrounding the actress's personal life.
The Backstory: Allegations and a Mother's Defense
The decision to take the test follows serious allegations made against Regina Daniels during a marital crisis with her husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, last year. The billionaire politician had accused her of drug abuse, a claim later echoed by one of her co-wives, Laila Charani, who alleged Regina introduced her to drugs.
In her video, the mother of two, who is currently abroad, clarified her motives. She stated the test was not merely to clear her name but was a strategic move to protect her children's future perception of her. "Taking this test isn’t just about clearing my name; it’s about giving my children something priceless," Regina explained. She added that the action would ensure her sons know definitively that their mother was never a drug addict.
Public Reaction and Broader Context
The senator's comment sparked a wave of positive reactions from social media users. Many praised Natasha Akpoti for her kindness and support, with comments like "God bless your kind heart" and "you such an amazing soul ma." Others used the opportunity to defend Regina Daniels further, suggesting the initial allegations were a form of blackmail and praising her stability and intelligence.
This episode is part of a larger narrative for Regina Daniels, who recently made headlines by promising to return to Nigeria for a live streaming collaboration with an upcoming streamer, Oga Amos, indicating a continued engagement with her fanbase and new media ventures.
