All of you should stand down. Enough of this social media posting and talking. Regina Daniels, if for the six years of being married to this man you don’t have connections, it raises some questions. Take your case to court.

“So, I will beg your family to please stop the social media stuff. Then get a PR team to do that for you and follow this matter the right way. Enough of personal attacks; I know the pain. You want to get justice against a man who has abused you and your family. You made the choice to marry your grandfather but you should not die because of that.

That being said enough of the social media drama. Take your case to the Senators’ Wives Association, let them plead your case. Marriage is not by force. And I tell you now, I am your mother’s age mate, do not return to that house if you don’t feel safe. Don’t let anybody use children against you, the children will be fine. So, please, go get help. Use the proper channel, get the authorities. I know this is painful but enough of the whole drama. Your mental health is important.”
