This Is Not the APC I Dreamed Of” – MI Abaga Reflects on Support for Ruling Party
“I Thought APC Would Bring Positive Change” – MI Abaga Speaks on Regret and Criticism
Nigerian rapper MI Abaga has responded to backlash over his comments on the recent tragic killings in Benue State, while also expressing regret for previously supporting the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking as a guest on the latest episode of the Menisms podcast, the rapper explained that he once believed the APC would deliver meaningful change to Nigeria, especially in contrast to the previous administration.
“I don’t complain on Twitter and Instagram anymore, not because I don’t get the pain. I get it. They were just scolding me yesterday when I tweeted about the thing that happened in Benue. A lot of people came out to say, ‘But MI, you supported the APC”.
“Sure, when the PDP government was very corrupt, I was part of the people who lifted their voices to bring in democracy. But the thing is, as a human being, no matter how much you try to be right, you’ll be wrong eventually”.
MI’s comments come amid growing public anger over worsening insecurity, especially following the mass killings in Benue State and the insurgency in the North.
“APC, unfortunately, isn’t the APC of my dreams,” he continued. “Thing is, as a human being, no matter how much you try to be right, you’d be wrong eventually.”
“I work in the creative sector, and the creative sector can empower millions of young people. If the country isn’t set up with leaders that can provide jobs, that doesn’t mean I can’t create opportunities.”
