Xi Jingping consolidated power by rallying people around the flag of anti-corruption. Same with Putin. Obviously, neither of those people is anywhere close to non-corrupt.
Don't rally around anti-corruption. Rally around accountability, oversight, openness, and balances of power.
Doing things right is harder than calling out others for doing things wrong, and plenty of horrible corrupt people are all too happy to call out wrong-doers. Support people who do things right, not people who complain about others doing things wrong.
