Why I wont divorce my wife, even if she cheats: Peter Obi

Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in Nigeria’s 2023 general election, recently affirmed his unwavering commitment to his wife, Margaret Brownson, emphasizing that divorce is not an option even in the face of infidelity.

During an appearance on The Honest Bunch podcast, hosted by comedian and actor Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, popularly known as Nedu Wazobia, Obi delved into his views on marriage, loyalty, and the principles that guide his relationship. The former Anambra State governor explained his belief in unconditional support and fidelity, sharing that he would stand by his wife through any challenges, including situations involving infidelity.

Obi’s stance reflects his broader perspective on commitment and resilience in relationships, a message he conveyed with clarity on the show.

“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 affirmed.

“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,” the presidential candidate concluded.

Obi’s comments spark discussions on social media, with many weighing in on his views on loyalty, marriage, and forgiveness.
