Veteran Nigerian rapper Jude Abaga, popularly known as M.I Abaga, has admitted he regrets supporting the All Progressives Congress (APC) during the 2015 general elections.
Speaking on the Menism podcast, the acclaimed lyricist revealed that his support for the APC stemmed from his disappointment with the then-ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP), which he believed was plagued by corruption.
“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,’” M.I explained.
He recalled facing backlash after tweeting about herdsmen attacks in Benue State, with many Nigerians reminding him of his political alignment during the 2015 elections.
“I tweeted about the thing that happened in Benue and a lot of people were saying, ‘But M.I, you supported the APC,’” he added.
Reflecting on the party’s performance in office, the rapper admitted that he was wrong in his judgment, saying the APC no longer embodies the principles he once believed in.
“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,” he said.
M.I now says his energy is focused on nation-building through music, youth engagement, and advocacy. He emphasized the need to use his influence to promote progress and hold those in power accountable.
