Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party Peter Obi has said he is committed to his marriage to Margaret Obi (nee Brownson) for life.
The former Anambra governor said during a recent appearance on The Honest Bunch Podcast that his marriage cannot be broken by infidelity.
Obi got married to Margaret in 1992. They have two children, Gabrielle Obi and Oseloka Obi.
“No matter what my wife does today. I can’t separate from her. I can never. Even if she like let her shoot me, as long as I am alive, she’s my wife,” he said.
“No matter what she does, I won’t marry [someone else]. She’s my wife. Whatever she likes, let her do because what is she going to do that would offend me? What? Maybe have an extramarital affair? It’s her business. It’s not me. They won’t say two of us have an affair. They would say Peter Obi is a very good man who married a woman who is… That is it!”
The politician discussed how their different lifestyles do not impact his commitment to his wife.
“You can’t quantify me with the life of my wife or children. No. We have different lifestyles. Even if I’m travelling with my wife, people have seen it. Sometimes we are in the same plane but in different classes. She is in business class and I’m in economy. Because that suits her and it doesn’t conflict with my interests,” he said.
