Peter Obi Defends ADC Alliance Amid Corruption Claims

In a recent interview on Magic FM in Aba, Abia State, former presidential candidate Peter Obi defended his alliance with the African Democratic Congress (ADC) amidst ongoing corruption allegations against the party. Obi argued that engaging individuals from the ADC provides opportunities for reform, despite the party's controversial reputation.

He drew a biblical parallel, referencing Jesus Christ's associations with tax collectors and prostitutes to illustrate his point about transformation and redemption. Obi also criticized the practices of security agencies, claiming they selectively administer justice, allowing individuals guilty of more severe crimes to evade accountability.

He specifically mentioned former Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, questioning the motives behind targeting the ADC while highlighting the political persecution faced by its stakeholders.
