In a recent interview on the Honest Bunch Podcast, former Nigerian presidential candidate Peter Obi shared an unconventional perspective on marriage, expressing his deep commitment to his wife despite their different lifestyle choices.
Obi addressed a question on infidelity, making it clear that his loyalty to his wife remains unshakeable, even if she were to engage in an affair.
“As long as I’m alive, she’s my wife. That’s it,” he affirmed. Highlighting his unwavering devotion, Obi added, “That is sealed. Finished. I won’t marry or have anything. She is my wife.”
Rather than view his wife’s choices as a threat to their relationship, Obi demonstrated a tolerant approach, noting that even her hypothetical affair would not alter his commitment.
“Maybe have an affair? It’s her business,” he remarked, adding, “Who said two of us had an affair? They’ll say Peter Obi is a very good man who married a woman who is… That’s it.”
Obi also commented on their different travel preferences, illustrating the independence within their relationship.
“People have seen my wife in business class; they’ve seen her in first class. I’m in a different class,” he said.
