Nigerian rapper, M.I Abaga has expressed regret over his decision to support the All Progressives Congress (APC) during the 2015 elections.
Speaking on the Menism podcast, M.I stated that while he initially backed the APC due to the perceived corruption in the then-ruling PDP, the APC has since failed to meet his expectations.
He reflected on the backlash he received for commenting on recent herdsmen attacks in Benue State, with many Nigerians on social media reminding him of his past political stance.
“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,’” he said.
“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 a 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.”
M.I added that he is now more focused on using his voice and talent to work with fellow young Nigerians in building a better country.
