Nigeria entertainer, MC Tagwaye, dumps APC for SDP

A popular Nigerian entertainer and politician, Obinna Simon, also known as MC Tagwaye, has announced his defection from the ruling All Progressive Congress.

Tagwaye made the announcement in a post via his official Facebook page on Friday.

The politician stated that his decision was born out of his conviction that the APC has deviated from its original ideals and is no longer committed to the welfare and progress of the Nigerians.

He wrote, “After months of intense consultation and introspection, I, Obinna Simon, AKA MC Tagwaye, have made the bold decision to resign my membership from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and join the Social Democratic Party (SDP).”

“This decisive move is born out of my deep-seated conviction that the APC has deviated from its original ideals and is no longer committed to the welfare and progress of the Nigerian people. The party’s glaring lack of a reward system for loyal members, its gerontocratic leadership structure, and its policies that perpetuate hardship on low-income earners have collectively sounded the death knell on my membership.”

He further stated that the APC’s internal democracy has been egregiously compromised, with a few power brokers dictating the party’s direction and disregarding the voices and aspirations of the majority.

According to him, “In stark contrast, the SDP has emerged as a beacon of hope, with its unwavering commitment to the youth, internal democracy, transparency, and accountability.

“The party’s vision for a new Nigeria, where the welfare and progress of all citizens are paramount, resonates deeply with me.”

Tagwaye revealed that he had formally submitted his resignation to his ward chairman of the APC, marking the end of his association with the party.

“I am excited to join the SDP and contribute to the party’s mission to build a better Nigeria for all.

“I urge all Nigerians who share my vision to join me on this journey. Together, we can create a brighter future for ourselves, our children, and our great nation, “he added.
