@Olomu_Aperan@gtbank It’s surprising how urchins like will want to argue with a one time bank chairman, a man who bought his first house in UK for 1m pounds. Omo Nigeria in unreal
Peter Obi refused to change.
And that is exactly the reason some people left him.
Go back and listen to Peter Obi before 2023. Listen to him during the campaign. Listen to him today.
His message has stubbornly been consistent.
Cut the cost of governance
Stop waste
Fight corruption
Invest in education and healthcare
Borrow for production, not consumption
Respect the rule of law
Make government work for the people instead of making politicians rich
So when someone tells you, “I supported Peter Obi in 2023, but I no longer support him,” ask them one simple question
WHAT EXACTLY DID PETER OBI CHANGE?
Did he suddenly start supporting corruption?
Did he abandon fiscal discipline?
Did he stop preaching production over consumption?
Did he start promising politicians access to the treasury?
Did he abandon accountability?
Or did some people simply discover that the movement was not going to become the political ATM they imagined?
That is the uncomfortable conversation Nigeria needs to have.
Because politics in Nigeria has conditioned many people to believe that supporting a politician must eventually produce appointment, contract, patronage, cash, access, influence, or a piece of government.
And when those expectations are not met, suddenly the politician they once called “competent,” “different,” and “the hope of Nigeria” becomes the problem.
Think about that.
Some people may have entered the Obidient movement believing that its enormous energy would eventually become another political structure where insiders could position themselves close to power.
But what happens when the man at the centre keeps talking about cutting government waste instead of expanding the feeding trough?
What happens when he keeps saying public money belongs to the public?
What happens when he refuses to transform a political movement into a marketplace for personal enrichment?
I will tell you.
People whose politics depends on access to patronage will eventually become uncomfortable.
And that is why every former supporter attacking Peter Obi deserves one question.
Can you tell Nigerians the principle Peter Obi abandoned?
Not who offended you.
Not the appointment you didn't get.
Not who stopped answering your calls.
Not your personal disagreement.
Tell us which GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLE changed.
Peter Obi can be criticized. His policies can be challenged. His record can be interrogated. But if you supported his philosophy in 2023 and reject that same philosophy today, while the philosophy itself remains substantially the same, perhaps the bigger question is not,
“What happened to Peter Obi?”
Perhaps Nigerians should be asking:
“What were YOU expecting to get from Peter Obi?”
That question may explain far more than all the political grammar everybody is blowing up and down.
Peter Obi did not suddenly become Peter Obi. He has been telling Nigerians who he is. Maybe some people simply believed that once power came close enough, he would eventually become like everybody else.
And when he didn't, they moved on looking for someone who would.
Nigeria must decide whether politics will continue to be a business of sharing the national cake or finally become the serious business of rebuilding the country.
Peter Obi did not change. For some people, the calculation did.
