Former Actors Guild of Nigeria President Emeka Rollas has publicly apologized to actress Regina Daniels, her mother Rita Daniels, Senator Ned Nwoko, and other colleagues for his remarks during Daniels' marital crisis in 2025. Rollas issued the apology in a statement posted on his Instagram page, admitting that while his intentions may have been right, his approach was flawed.
In November 2025, Rollas commented on the marital crisis between Regina Daniels and her husband, Senator Nwoko, saying the actress needed help. He also called out some veteran actors he claimed had witnessed incidents involving her and took a swipe at Rita Daniels over the AGN leadership contest. Additionally, he commented on Nwoko's role as Chairman of the guild's Board of Patrons.
Rollas stated that he regrets speaking out when the family was already dealing with a sensitive situation. He said that with the passage of time, he realized that being right about an issue does not necessarily mean he handled it the right way. A recent unexpected meeting with Rita Daniels, where people tried to reconcile them, gave him room for deeper reflection.
Rollas apologized to Rita Daniels and her family, Regina Daniels, Senator Nwoko and his family, the AGN Board of Trustees, and colleagues including Okey Bakassi, Charles Inojie, Chinyere Wilfred, Jide Kosoko, Sanni Danji, Agility, and Nazareth Jesse. He noted that his apology wasn't tied to whether it would be accepted, saying forgiveness was at the discretion of those offended.
Rollas maintained that he still stands by some of his earlier concerns but takes full responsibility for how and when he raised them. He said he had decided to embrace peace and move forward with dignity. According to him, leadership is not only about having the courage to speak but also about having the humility to acknowledge when one could have spoken differently.
The apology comes after Rollas made public comments about the marital crisis between Regina Daniels and Senator Nwoko. His statement was made on Thursday, October 8, 2026, and was posted on his Instagram page. Rollas' decision to apologize shows that he is willing to make amends for his previous actions.
Rollas' statement ends with a message about leadership and humility. He emphasized that having the courage to speak is not enough; one must also have the humility to acknowledge when they could have handled a situation differently. This statement is seen as a sign of growth and maturity from the former AGN President.
