A video from the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election in Delta State has surfaced online, showing that Senator Ned Nwoko, the ex-husband of actress Regina Daniels, was largely snubbed by voters. The footage, which has gone viral, reveals a stark contrast in the number of supporters for Nwoko and his opponent, former Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa.
Low Turnout for Nwoko
In the video, only three individuals were seen standing in the queue for Nwoko, while Okowa's line stretched far and wide, with a crowd that was difficult to count. This disparity has sparked widespread reactions on social media, with many users mocking the situation.
Social Media Reactions
Netizens were quick to comment on the video. One user, @olajideoladapocole, remarked: "Now get it, if APC can do this against themselves, imagine what will happen to those in other parties that will be contesting against their candidates." Another user, @igbo_boygh, said: "At least Cubana Chief Priest don see who him go fit laugh small." Some users referenced Nwoko's ex-wife, Regina Daniels, noting that she has reclaimed her glory after their messy divorce. Others compared Nwoko's turnout to that of celebrity barman Cubana Chief Priest, who reportedly had a better showing during the APC primaries.
Background on the Divorce
A few months ago, Regina Daniels ended her marriage to Ned Nwoko, alleging abuse. The split became public and contentious, with both parties sharing allegations on social media. The video of the primary election has reignited discussions about the couple's past.

Previous Praise from Nwoko
Earlier, Senator Nwoko had publicly praised Regina Daniels for supporting him during a community event. The couple attended the first Anioma community meeting together, where Nwoko acknowledged that his wife helped him despite his illness. However, the recent primary election results suggest a different political reality for the senator.
