Ned Nwoko reacts after ex-wife Regina Daniels shared result of drug test to dispute his allegations that she’s an addict

Ned Nwoko has reacted after his estranged wife Regina Daniels submitted herself for a drug test and shared the result. The result of the test, done in the UK, showed that the actress had no drugs in her system. Regina said it became necessary to address the drug addiction allegations made by her estranged husband because she wanted her children to know the truth and to take pride in her. Reacting now, Ned Nwoko stated that “temporary abstinence is not sobriety”. The politician wrote: “DONT BE FOOLED: TEMPORARY ABSTINENCE IS NOT SOBRIETY.” He continued: “Temporary abstinence, does not erase the underlying challenges that brought this situation to light. Recovery and accountability are not matters for social media posts or publtic engagement, they require sustained effort honesty, and a genuine engagement with professional support. “The conditions under which this recent test was conducted remain unclear. ln contrast, earlier findings of drugs and alcohol use were established through assessments conducted by two independent, reputable centres in Nigeria and South Africa. These reports were professionally compiled, formally documented, and will be presented and defended in court, and the centres involved will be subpoenaed to testify to their findings “Presenting a later negative result as proof that no prior use occurred is Misleading and disingenuous. At best, it reflects abstinence over a period of time. It does not invalidate earlier medical reports, nor does it negate what necessitated intervention in the first place. “There has also been an attempt to dilute the seriousness of the substance refered to as MDMA (Molly), regardless of how casually it is referenced or repackaged in language, it is a drug. Renaming it does not alter its chemical composition, its risks, or its impact on judgment and stability. “Moreover, temporary abstinence, whether for weeks or months, does not address the underlying issues that brought this situation to where it is today. “Healing is not episodic, and accountability is not performative. “Long before this matter became public, Senator Ned Nwoko explored every possible avenue to provide support, including private rehabilitation for structured, sustained therapy, not just brief one off, it failed. Denial is never a foundation for sustainable therapy The first step is to own up to the existing problem. When the court gave judgement in favour of Senator Ned having custody, and dismissing all Unsubstantiated human rights abuse claims they brought forward last year, the court order stated that Regina should go for supervised therapy with evidence of same. we did not make it a time for public show. Senator Ned gave Regina a window to quietly seek the needed help, he acted discreetly, keeping matters out of the media while encouraging access to professional care so she could maintain a meaningfut relationship with her children. “It is therefore inaccurate to suggest consistent sobriety or to dismiss prior findings. A single test, taken at a time of one’s choosing, does not outweigh documented assessments conducted independently and professionally. “If accountability is to be invoked, then it must acknowledge reality of a problem and willingness to address it, that’s accountability that can yield results. “Genuine accountability requires confronting reality, and committing to long-term professional support, not a matter to be measured by social media engagements. True growth, stability, and accountability come from embracing the process quietly, consistently, and with integrity, the very approach Senator Ned has encouraged from the start. lt is not time for drama “Any test conducted anywhere in the world will face court scrutiny and should be ready when subpoenaed, to defend results just like the Nigerian and South African labs. In any case, Court would for clarity, appoint a credible laboratory for verification of claims. It is time for reality supported by relevant, credible and admissible evidence.” The post Ned Nwoko reacts after ex-wife Regina Daniels shared result of drug test to dispute his allegations that she’s an addict appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
