APC chieftain and campaign member Obinna Simon (MC Tagwaye) has defected to the SDP, citing poor internal democracy and lack of rewards for loyal members.

He praised the SDP for its youth inclusion, transparency, and accountability.

A member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign team for the 2023 elections, Obinna Simon, popularly known as MC Tagwaye, has defected to the Social Democratic Party (SDP).

VerseNews gathered that Tagwaye cited the APC’s lack of a proper reward system for loyal members and its deviation from the party’s founding ideals as reasons for his defection.

In a statement, Tagwaye condemned 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.

He praised the SDP for its commitment to youth inclusion, internal democracy, transparency, and accountability, describing it as a “beacon of hope”.

“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,” he said.

Tagwaye’s defection comes after Nasir El-Rufai, a former Governor of Kaduna, also left the APC for the SDP.
