Presidential candidate Peter Obi criticises Nigeria’s party system, saying it lacks clear ideology and that accusations of corruption tend to fade after politicians join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Obi, who represents the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), argues that politicians facing corruption allegations are often perceived as absolved once they defect to APC. He makes the claim during an interview on Channels Television’s “Politics Today,” according to one report, and the same message is echoed in another outlet’s coverage. The reporting focuses on Obi’s view that Nigeria’s political parties do not provide consistent ideological positions, and that political alignment with the ruling party can influence how corruption cases are treated publicly. The articles do not present new evidence of specific cases, outcomes, or court rulings; they only summarise Obi’s general allegations about patterns in Nigerian politics. Both outlets attribute the statement to Obi and frame it as part of his broader criticism of the political landscape.
