MI Abaga, a sensational Nigerian rapper, has come out to state that he regrets campaigning for the All Progressive Congress (APC) presidential when they came into presidential power in 2015.
The ‘African Rapper No. 1’ crooner explained that he supported the APC in 2015 because he felt the then-ruling party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), was corrupt.
He admitted that the APC isn’t living up to expectations, adding that it wasn’t the party of his dreams.

Speaking in 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 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 stated that he is now focused on using his talent and platform to collaborate with other youths in building a better nation.
