I begin with a bold statement: Peter Obi cannot be president in today’s Nigeria. The roots of this go beyond his qualifications. Nigeria’s system rewards loyalty to graft. Those who benefit from corruption control the levers of power. When an honest leader like Obi arrives, the system fights back. Everywhere Obi goes, he sparks debate and anxiety in government. His calls for accountability and transparency threaten entrenched interests. True change will come only if Nigeria itself shifts from impunity to integrity. Until that happens, Obi’s fight remains an uphill battle.
