I'm making this post primarily as a supporter of Peter Obi. Not that I was sold on his candidacy(let's be factual. There's nothing tinubu is doing now that obi wouldn't have done). I only felt that the status quo had existed for far too long an a change agent was needed. I enjoyed my days of delusion.

Desperation doesn't yield results. OBJ was in a cell when the call to campaign for president under PDP came. Jonathan thought he was done with politics and didn't even bother to attend the PDP convention when Yar'Adua called him to join the ticket. Peter Odili, Donald Duke and Ibori were right there campaigning heavily but it was Jonathan who thought he was done with politics that the call came for.

Buhari, after shedding heavy tears in 2011, swore he was done with politics. It took Tinubu and El-Rufai to convince him otherwise. Are we beginning to see a pattern?

The Nigerian political class, parasites that they are, will never allow anyone who has the potential to rock the boat, to obtain power. Mr Buhari that was a supposed agent of change, had to play by the rules enough that his own wife raised an alarm that her husbands government has been hijacked. But I digress.

Obi is an outsider to the Nigerian political class. It took the supreme court before Obi could even complete his mandated tenure as governor. As a sitting governor, Obi lost his seat because the powers that were in Anambra decided it. The supreme court had to intervene again.

He knows he is an outsider and that's what he sold to us. But now watching him junket around, discussing God knows what with men of questionable character, gives cause for concern. What was he discusding with an ex-governor who has a 92 billion naira corruption case hanging around his neck? I won't want to go into the issue of the former vice president.

When principles become adjustable, they aren't principles at all and we lose any stand to integrity. The people you identify with are a reflection of who you are. If Obi is seeking to strike deals, what is he using as his bargaining chip? His integrity must be part of that trade-off.

Obi's time may yet come. But it won't come with him whoring himself out. The best way to get a thing sometimes is not to look for it.

Did you join politics today? Was Obi not in the PDP before joining LP?

Obi has been part of them. Was he not indicted in one leaked paper?

God gives power, anyway.

Obi added too much of hypocrisy to his own politics which would continue to affect his ambition to be a Nigeria president.
