Peter Obi, the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, has reaffirmed his commitment to his marriage, stating that he will never abandon his wife, regardless of any circumstances. He emphasized that for as long as he lives, he will remain her husband.
Obi clarified that his dedication is unwavering, even in the face of extreme actions, such as infidelity or harm. He made these remarks on a recent episode of the Honest Bunch Podcast, co-hosted by actor Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, also known as Nedu.
Obi said, “No matter what my wife does today, I won’t divorce her. 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.
“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 [promiscuous]. That is it!
“You can’t quantify me with the life of my wife or children. No. We have different lifestyles. Even if I’m traveling 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.”
