(DDM) – Nigerian Senator Ned Nwoko was recently seen attending the 55th birthday celebration of Senator Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe, accompanied by his Moroccan wife, Laila Charani.
DDM gathered that the public outing quickly generated widespread attention on social media, with many Nigerians expressing opinions on the senator’s personal life and marital dynamics.
The event took place in a high-profile venue, attended by lawmakers, political figures, and notable personalities from various sectors.
Video footage shared on Nwoko’s X account showed him greeting fellow legislators and guests, highlighting his prominent role in the gathering.
The senator was also observed interacting with MC Oluomo, chairman of the Lagos State Park Management Committee, and Prince Shuaibu Audu, husband of Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson.
Laila Charani, who is Nwoko’s fifth wife and mother of three of his children, appeared poised, elegant, and stylish throughout the celebration.
The senator captioned his post on social media: “We spent last night celebrating my Distinguished colleague, Senator Jarigbe, as he turned 55. Wishing him good health, clarity, and a fulfilling year ahead.”
Observers noted that the appearance comes at a time when Nwoko is reportedly involved in a marital dispute with his actress wife, Regina Daniels, which has been widely covered in the media.
Social media users reacted strongly, sharing diverse opinions ranging from praise for Charani’s presence to commentary on Nwoko’s polygamous lifestyle.
Some comments suggested that Charani was now in the public spotlight, while others compared her to Regina Daniels, reflecting public interest in the senator’s family dynamics.
One user wrote, “Moroccan wife should enjoy this her turn. Na turn by turn. See as God come visit her, we almost forgot she was part of the harem.”
Another remarked, “Dividends of having several wives…The Peace of mind is overwhelming,” reflecting approval of Nwoko’s multiple marriages.
Other comments were critical, noting that Regina Daniels had previously been the public-facing spouse and questioning the dynamics of Nwoko’s relationships.
Analysts say such public appearances by high-profile politicians with multiple spouses often spark debates about personal life versus public responsibilities.
Observers also note that social media amplifies reactions, making private matters of public figures widely scrutinized and discussed in real time.
Laila Charani’s public presence is seen as strategic, signaling her status and recognition within Nwoko’s family and social circles.
The senator’s post, along with video footage, has gone viral, generating hundreds of comments and shares across various platforms.
Political and social commentators argue that the Nwoko family’s personal matters will continue to attract attention, given the couple’s prominence and ongoing public interest in their marital dynamics.
As the debate continues online, Nigerians remain divided, with some focusing on Charani’s elegance and composure, while others scrutinize Nwoko’s relationships and his interactions with multiple wives.
The birthday celebration has therefore become a focal point for discussions on politics, polygamy, and the interplay between personal choices and public perception in Nigeria.
