Former governor of Anambra State and presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has opened up on his unwavering commitment to his marriage and loyalty to his wife.
Speaking on The Honest Bunch podcast, he revealed that he wouldn’t consider leaving his wife even if she cheated.
Obi explained his commitment, expressing that no action, not even an extramarital affair or abuse, would shake his loyalty.
He went on to say that he sees his relationship with his wife as a lifelong bond that’s beyond external judgments or actions.
“No matter what my wife does today, I can’t stop marrying her, and I can’t separate with her. I can never. Even if she likes, let her use a gun to shoot me. As long as I’m alive, she’s my wife. That’s it. That’s me. As long as I’m alive, she is my wife, that is sealed, finished. Whatever she likes, let her do”.
Peter Obi believes that his wife’s choices are separate from his values and that her actions would not tarnish his character.
“Because what is she going to do that will offend me? What? Maybe have an affair, it’s her business. It’s not me. They won’t say the two of us had an affair. They will say “Peter Obi is a very good man who married a woman who is wayward”, that’s it”
The former governor also spoke about how they manage differences, even in lifestyle preferences.
He shared a story of how they travel together but sometimes sit in different classes, with his wife in business class and himself in economy.
This is to explain the liberal lifestyle they both have in their marriage, adding that these differences have never led to conflict.
