Former Anambra State Governor and NDC presidential candidate Peter Obi has reacted after his wife, Margaret Obi, was spotted carrying a handbag alleged to be worth about ₦250 million.
The luxury handbag sparked discussions online, with some Nigerians questioning the reported price of the item and others debating whether it was appropriate for the wife of a political figure to own such an expensive accessory.
Speaking on the issue, Peter Obi said his wife has her own business and money, noting that he does not keep track of how much she spends on her personal belongings.
