Ace Nigerian rapper and songwriter, Jude Abaga, better known as M.I, has admitted he made a mistake by supporting the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) during the 2015 presidential election.
He made this known while featuring on the latest episode of the Menism podcast.
According to the ‘African Rapper NO 1’ crooner, he was recently reminded that he once campaigned for the APC after tweeting about the nefarious activities of herdsmen in Benue State.
He explained that he supported the party in 2015 because he felt the-then ruling party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) was corrupt.

The 43-year-old singer went on to admit that APC isn’t living up to expectations, adding that it wasn’t the party of his dreams.
Speaking during the chat, 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 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 further stated that he is now focused on using his talent and platform to collaborate with other youths in building a better nation.
