Nigerian rapper Jude ‘MI’ Abaga has openly expressed regret over his past support for the All Progressives Congress (APC), admitting that the ruling party has not lived up to the expectations that informed his endorsement during the last general elections.
The 43-year-old hip-hop star made the revelation during a recent episode of The Manism Podcast, where he reflected on his evolving views about Nigeria’s political direction.
Okay.ng reports that MI said he initially supported APC as an alternative to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which he considered “deeply corrupt” at the time.
“Yes, I supported APC because at that time, I felt that the PDP government was very corrupt. I was part of the people who lifted my voice to say, ‘Let us stand and bring in democracy’,” he stated.
However, the rapper admitted that APC has not fulfilled the vision he once believed in.
“As a human being, no matter how much you try to be right, you will be wrong. APC, unfortunately, is not the APC of my dreams,” MI said.
He also recalled being challenged by followers on social media after tweeting about a violent incident in Benue State, which prompted them to remind him of his political stance.
“I tweeted about the thing that happened in Benue, and a lot of people were saying, ‘But M.I., you supported the APC’,” he shared.
