Ace Nigerian rapper, Jude Abaga, popularly known as M.I Abaga, has said the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is not living up to expectations.
Naijaonpoint reports that M.I., while speaking in a recent episode of the Menism podcast, said he made a mistake by supporting the APC.
The ‘Bad Belle’ crooner explained that he supported the APC in 2015 because he felt the then-ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), was corrupt.
M.I. reiterated that APC is not the party of his dreams, adding that he is now focused on using his talent and platform to collaborate with other youths in building a better nation.
He said, “I tweeted about the thing [herdsmen attacks] that happened in Benue and a lot of people were saying, ‘But M.I, you supported the APC.’
“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.’
“As human being, no matter how much you try to be right, you will be wrong [sometimes]. APC unfortunately isn’t the APC of my dreams.”
