APC Isn’t the Party of My Dreams – M.I Abaga Admits Political Mistake
Nigerian rap icon M.I Abaga has sparked intense conversation across social media following his recent admission that joining the All Progressives Congress (APC) was a mistake. The respected lyricist, known for his outspoken views on social and political issues, made the revelation during a candid moment, confessing that the ruling party does not align with the ideals he once hoped it represented.
In his words, “APC isn’t the party of my dreams.” This blunt statement has reignited discussions about celebrity involvement in politics, the importance of political accountability, and the growing disillusionment among Nigerian youths with mainstream political parties.
M.I Abaga, who once publicly expressed support for the APC during its early years, noted that his expectations were driven by a desire for positive change, youth empowerment, and structural reform. However, he admitted that the realities on the ground have fallen short of what he envisioned.
He acknowledged that many citizens, like himself, believed in the promise of a new direction when APC rose to prominence. But years later, with economic hardship, insecurity, and governance issues continuing to plague the nation, the rapper said it’s only fair to take responsibility for once being hopeful about a platform that didn’t deliver.
This rare admission of fault from a public figure has drawn mixed reactions. While some critics argue that celebrities should avoid political endorsements without proper research, others have applauded M.I Abaga’s courage for speaking up and being honest about his change of heart.
Many fans believe that his statement reflects the growing awareness among young Nigerians who are now demanding more transparency, accountability, and results from elected officials, regardless of party affiliation.
As the country gears up for future elections, M.I Abaga’s experience serves as a reminder that political affiliations should be based on informed decisions rather than popularity or blind optimism. His call for introspection among citizens and celebrities alike is resonating with many who feel betrayed by the current state of the nation.
