“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 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.”
In other news, Peter Obi, has expressed his reasoning for participating in the 90th birthday celebration of General Yakubu Gowon (rtd), joining other political leaders in the tribute.
Like President Bola Tinubu and other prominent leaders, Obi has publicly celebrated the elder statesman, describing him as an extraordinary gentleman who has rendered commendable service to the nation throughout his career.
Obi’s perspective was not well-received among the Ndigbos, who contend that Gowon was responsible for the turmoil during the civil war, leading them to question the appropriateness of Obi’s admiration.
