Ace Nigerian rapper Jude Abaga, a.k.a. M.I, has publicly expressed his deep regrets about supporting the All Progressives Congress, APC.
The “One Naira” crooner explained that he supported the APC in 2015 because he felt the then-ruling party, the PDP, was corrupt.
He admitted that now the APC isn’t living up to expectations and is no longer 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 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.”

Veteran Yoruba actor Ganiu Nafiu, aka Alapini, has publicly expressed regret for campaigning for President Tinubu in 2023.
Speaking in a heartfelt interview on Behind the Fame, Alapini lamented that he and dozens of fellow actors feel abandoned and overlooked after fully endorsing Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope” agenda.
“We campaigned with joy, thinking our messiah had arrived, because Tinubu is someone we have loved for many years,” Alapini said in Yoruba, his voice tinged with disappointment.
“We spent two months campaigning for him… entering markets, walking through remote areas—even when we weren’t political figures,” he added
The actor described how their efforts—at personal and professional cost—have yielded no recognition or benefits. He highlighted the absence of acknowledgement even from Tinubu’s campaign team and son, Seyi Tinubu.
On whether he would support Tinubu’s re-election in 2027, the once-enthusiastic actor was blunt:
“I haven’t thought about it. Maybe our only support next time will be curses for anyone who votes for him,” he said.
Alapini also aimed at to perceive regional bias, questioning why Seyi Tinubu’s philanthropic activities have largely focused on Northern Nigeria while neglecting Yorubaland.
