Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, the former Anambra State governor urged Nigerian youths to actively champion the cause for electoral integrity, noting that their future depends heavily on the outcome of transparent elections.

Obi also dismissed claims that widespread support from state governors ensures a presidential victory. According to him, the endorsements of the 36 state governors do not automatically align with the actual votes and desires of the populace.

Drawing a historical comparison, Obi praised late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua for acknowledging flaws in the election that brought him into power and actively reforming the system to ensure subsequent polls were fair.

Furthermore, Obi criticized the ideological state of Nigerian political parties, arguing that political platforms in the country currently lack clear principles—pointing out how politicians facing corruption allegations often appear exonerated simply by defecting to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

“Thirty-six governors support the president, but the people in the states are not necessarily with them,” Obi stated. “What I am asking for is a free, fair, and credible election, which will go down as part of his legacy. I am begging the youths, whose lives and futures are at stake, to come out and join me in demanding credible polls.”

“When Yar’Adua became president, he admitted the process that brought him into office was faulty and committed to ensuring it wouldn’t happen again. He demonstrated it, and subsequent elections were free and fair,” Obi added. “For me, no political party in Nigeria today has a real ideology. Otherwise, the APC’s ideology shouldn’t be that once you defect to their party, you are no longer corrupt.”
