The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has vowed never to divorce his wife, Margaret Brown son, even in the event of infidelity.
According to him, he would stick to her regardless of any condition even if she shot him or cheated on him.
Obi, in an appearance on The Honest Bunch podcast, hosted by comedian and actor Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, popularly known as Nedu Wazobia, shared his personal beliefs about marriage and loyalty, expressing an enduring commitment to his spouse.
“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,” 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 the 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,” the former Anambra governor stated.
Obi’s comments spark discussions on social media, with many weighing in on his views on loyalty, marriage, and forgiveness.
