Renowned Nigerian rapper Jude Abaga, popularly known as M.I, has expressed regret over his decision to support the All Progressives Congress (APC) during the 2015 elections.
The award-winning rapper revealed that he threw his weight behind the APC because he believed the then-ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was riddled with corruption.
However, he lamented that the APC has failed to live up to expectations and is far from the party he envisioned.
Speaking during a recent episode of the Menism podcast, M.I 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.”
The rapper added that he is now focused on using his platform and talent to collaborate with other young Nigerians to help build a better and more just nation.
