Get to Know Peter Obi's Family: Wife Margaret and Their Achievements

Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra State, has reaffirmed his commitment to his marriage, stating that nothing can ever drive him apart from his wife, Margaret, after over 30 years together. Obi's dedication to their relationship is unwavering, emphasizing that he would never consider divorce, regardless of circumstances.

Peter Obi and Margaret Brownson Obi have been married since 1992, and their union has been blessed with two wonderful children, Oseloka and Gabriella. In a heartfelt tribute on Margaret's 49th birthday in 2023, Peter praised her as not only his “best partner” but also the “best mother” to their kids, acknowledging her tireless support and dedication to their family and the vision of a better Nigeria.

Margaret Obi, born on September 9, 1974, in Calabar, Cross River State, is a philanthropist and advocate for human rights, renowned for her contributions to women's empowerment and child protection initiatives. During her husband's governorship, she spearheaded various programs and organizations focused on social welfare and women's rights.

The couple's marriage has been blessed with two children, Gabriella Nwamaka Frances Obi and Gregory Peter Oseloka Obi. Their daughter, Gabriella, married Chukwuma Okeke-Ojiudu, a Chicago-raised businessman, in April 2022, while their son, Gregory, graduated with a degree in Philosophy from Bristol University and has pursued careers in acting, business development, and film production.

He said, “No matter what my wife does, I will never stop being married to her. I can never leave her, even if you bring a gun to shoot me.

“As long as I live, she will always be my wife. I can assure you of that. It's a done deal. She can do whatever she wants- what could she possibly do to offend me?

“Maybe she might have an affair, but that's her business, not mine. Who can say that the two of us are having an affair?”

Peter Obi's statement about remaining committed to his wife, Margaret, despite rumors of infidelity, showcases his dedication to their marriage. In 2017, Margaret Obi herself debunked divorce rumors, calling them “the height of wickedness.” The couple has been married since 1992 and has two children, Gabriella Nwamaka Frances Obi and Gregory Peter Oseloka Obi. Margaret Obi is known for her advocacy on women's empowerment and child protection, initiatives that complemented Peter Obi's policies during his governorship.

He said, “You can't compare me to the lives of my wife or children. We lead different lifestyles. Even when I travel with my wife, people see her in business class.”

“They've seen her in first class. We live in different worlds, yet we're on the same plane. She's in business class, and I'm in economy class. We never argue about what suits her.”

Peter Obi, the Labour Party candidate in the 2023 presidential election, highlighted the contrasting lifestyle preferences between him and his wife, Margaret. Specifically, he mentioned that while Margaret prefers traveling in business or first class, he opts for economy class. This difference in preference reflects their distinct approaches to luxury and simplicity. Margaret, known for her stylish and glamorous fashion sense, often attends high-profile events adorned in elegant attire and diamond jewelry. In contrast, Peter Obi is recognized for his humble and frugal nature, exemplified by his preference for economy class travel.
