Buhari Double Decamps To SDP
A renowned business mogul, entertainer and politician, Obinna Simon, popularly known as MC Tagwaye, has defected to the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
MC Tagwaye is a former member of the APC Presidential Campaign Team for the 2023 elections.
In a statement on Friday on his social media handles, MC Tagwaye said he left the All Progressives Congress (APC) due to the party’s lack of a proper reward system for loyal members and its failure to uphold its founding ideals.
MC Tagwaye detailed his decision: “This decisive move is born out of my deep-seated conviction that the APC has deviated from its original ideals. The party’s reward system does not honor loyalty, and its leadership structure is dominated by a few power brokers who disregard the voices and aspirations of the majority.”
He further criticized the APC’s internal democracy, stating that it has been “egregiously compromised” and that decisions are made by a select few “power brokers,” sidelining the majority.
In contrast, he described the Social Democratic Party (SDP) as a “beacon of hope,” praising its commitment to youth inclusion, internal democracy, transparency, and accountability.
“I have made the bold decision to resign from the APC and join the SDP, a party that truly represents the interests of the people. I encourage all Nigerians who share my vision to join me. Together, we can build a better future for ourselves, our children, and our great nation.”
MC Tagwaye, a well-known comedian and businessman, formally submitted his resignation to his APC ward chairman, marking the start of a new political journey in the SDP.
