Those claiming to support Peter Obi as an individual while distancing themselves from the ADC, on the grounds that many ADC party members are corrupt, are being clever by half.
The issue isn’t whether every party contains a mix of good and bad actors; that much is obvious.
The issue is consistency.
Peter Obi built his brand on the claim that the PDP and APC were “structures of criminality” and that he alone Peter Obi represented a moral alternative.
This wasn't a nuanced take on individuals; it was a sweeping indictment of entire PDP and APC platforms.
Today, many of the same figures who served under APC, PDP, Obasanjo, Jonathan and Buhari for twenty years, the very people his supporters blamed for destroying Nigeria, are allies in this Obi Rescue "rescue mission."
What changed? Did the structure suddenly become holy because Obi’s ambition requires it?
You cannot preach moral exceptionalism for years, only to retreat to the "it’s about individuals" defense when it becomes convenient for you.
Leadership demands coherence. If the "architects of national ruin" are now suitable partners in your mission to rescue Nigeria, then your earlier rhetoric was either dishonest or the current alliance is purely opportunistic.
Nigerians deserve clarity, not elastic morality.
