Senator Ned Nwoko says he feels sorry for men who have only one wife, arguing that polygamy offers men greater stability and balance.
The lawmaker representing Delta North made the remark while appearing on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Sunday.
“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 reminded that the Bible does not endorse polygamy, the senator replied, “The Old Testament does. I am a man of faith. But that’s not what we are here for.”
Nwoko, who has four wives, said he had 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 said.
He also dismissed recent allegations of domestic violence involving his actress wife, Regina Daniels, describing them as false.
“I am not a violent person. I respect my wives and love them and my kids,” he said.
His comments come amid ongoing reports of marital tension after Regina Daniels recently showcased a new mansion on social media, declaring, “In my house, I am a queen. I needed a roof over my head, so I got this for me and my family.”
