Renowned entertainer, business mogul, politician and youth leader, Obinna Simon, known as MC Tagwaye has dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
Tagwaye, who made this known on Friday morning in Abuja, noted that his detection is coming after months of intense consultation and introspection.
Tagwaye, who disclosed that he was a member of the presidential campaign team in the last general election, explained that the decisive move is born out of his 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.
According to him, the party’s glaring lack of 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 his membership.
“Furthermore, 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,” he said.
“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.
“I have formally submitted my resignation to my ward chairman of the APC, marking the end of my 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.”
