Nigerian rapper M.I Abaga has shared his regrets about supporting the All Progressives Congress, APC, during the 2015 elections. The music star, whose real name is Jude Abaga, said he thought he was making the right choice at the time.
He opened up about this on the Menism podcast. M.I explained that he supported APC because he believed the previous ruling party, PDP, was corrupt. In his words, “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.”
However, he admitted that APC has not turned out the way he hoped. “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,” he added.
The rapper said people often remind him about his support for APC whenever he talks about issues in the country. For him, supporting APC was a decision made with hope for change. But now, he believes the party has failed to deliver on its promises.
Despite this, M.I is looking forward. He said he wants to use his music and platform to work with other young people. His goal is to help build a better Nigeria. He believes that by coming together, youths can make the country stronger.
M.I Abaga is known for his powerful lyrics and honest views on society. Fans have praised him for admitting his mistakes and choosing to focus on solutions. Many see his words as a call to action for young Nigerians to stay involved and fight for the country they want.
