Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, revealed that he and his wife, Margaret Brownson, lead different lifestyles, emphasising his commitment to her despite their differences, including traveling in separate flight classes.
In a recent appearance on The Honest Bunch podcast, hosted by comedian Chinedu Emmanuel, also known as Nedu Wazobia, Peter Obi shared insights into his marriage and views on loyalty.
The former governor of Anambra State declared that he would not consider divorce, even in the event of infidelity.
Obi expressed unwavering loyalty to his wife, stating, “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 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,” Obi added.
Obi’s candid remarks have ignited discussions on social media, where many are weighing in on his perspectives on marriage, loyalty, and personal choice within relationships.
