The development was disclosed by Ossai Ovie Success, an aide to the Delta State governor, who alleged that Rita Daniels has instead endorsed Ifeanyi Okowa for the Delta North senatorial seat. According to the aide, the actress attended Okowa’s consultation visit to Aniocha South Local Government Area, where she was seen actively participating.
Sharing details of the visit, Ossai claimed Rita Daniels publicly showed support during the gathering.
He added that she was seen dancing, singing, and praising Okowa in front of party stakeholders and women groups. The appearance has drawn attention because Nwoko is also believed to have political interests tied to the same region.
The reported endorsement came amid strained relations between Rita Daniels and Ned Nwoko. The tension had escalated after actress Regina Daniels, Rita’s daughter, reportedly separated from the politician over allegations of domestic issues. Further reports also suggested that Nwoko accused his estranged wife of drug use — an allegation that intensified the situation. The relationship reportedly worsened after one of Rita Daniels’ sons was arrested over alleged cyberbullying.
