What Critics Said About Margaret Obi
Those who took issue with her online appearance wasted no time making their feelings known. X user @DrDanny2030 led the charge, pointing out that the wives of other presidential contenders were already hitting the ground running.
"Tinubu's wife is visiting Eastern States to talk to the masses. Atiku's wife has started going for campaigns talking about his husband and why he should be the president. I'm asking again, What has Margaret Obi done to make sure Peter Obi goes far?" he wrote.
@Pascaldey4you also weighed in sharply, saying: "Women don't even care at all; she is rocking a new wig, lavishing Peter Obi's money, instead of contributing to his husband's movement of becoming the next president of Nigeria."

Supporters Push Back
Not everyone agreed with the criticism. A significant portion of commenters defended Margaret, arguing that Peter Obi is the candidate, not his wife, and that she owes the public no obligation to campaign on his behalf.
Many noted that holding a woman responsible for her husband's political performance places an unfair burden on her, and that her personal choices, including how she styles her hair, should not be subject to public scrutiny simply because of who she is married to.

In an interview on The Honest Bunch YouTube podcast, Obi stated that even if his wife were to be unfaithful, he would never consider divorce.
The former governor of Anambra state made it clear that their marriage was “sealed” and that he would never marry another woman.
