MC Tagwaye, a prominent Nigerian entertainer, has left the APC to join the SDP, citing the ruling party’s deviation from its original principles. He criticized the APC’s internal democracy and its policies impacting low-income earners, expressing strong support for the SDP’s commitment to transparency and citizen welfare. He invites like-minded individuals to join him in this political transition.
Obinna Simon, popularly known as MC Tagwaye, a Nigerian entertainer and politician, has officially announced his departure from the All Progressive Congress (APC) in favor of the Social Democratic Party (SDP). He shared his decision through a post on his official Facebook page, citing a disillusionment with the APC’s departure from its founding principles and its diminished commitment to the welfare of the Nigerian populace.
In his statement, MC Tagwaye expressed, “After months of intense consultation and introspection, I have made the bold decision to resign… from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and join the Social Democratic Party (SDP).” He elaborated on his reasons for leaving, noting the APC’s lack of a reward system for loyal members, its gerontocratic leadership structure, and policies that exacerbate hardships for low-income earners.
MC Tagwaye criticized the APC for its compromised internal democracy, where decisions are allegedly dictated by a select group of power brokers. He contrasted this with the SDP, which he describes as “a beacon of hope” that prioritizes the youth and maintains values of internal democracy, transparency, and accountability.
He asserted, “The party’s vision for a new Nigeria, where the welfare and progress of all citizens are paramount, resonates deeply with me.” Tagwaye has formally submitted his resignation to his ward chairman in the APC, concluding his affiliation with the party.
Looking ahead, he stated, “I am excited to join the SDP and contribute to the party’s mission to build a better Nigeria for all.” He also encouraged fellow Nigerians to join him, emphasizing the potential for collective progress: “Together, we can create a brighter future for ourselves, our children, and our great nation.”
MC Tagwaye’s defection from the APC to the SDP highlights profound concerns regarding the former’s commitment to its founding ideals and the welfare of Nigerians. His move underscores an appeal for a political environment focused on transparency, youth empowerment, and proactive policies aimed at societal welfare. Tagwaye invites those who share his vision to unite in forging a better future for Nigeria.
