Ycee: Ousting APC in 2027 Is Not Enough

In a social media outburst that has reverberated across Nigeria’s digital landscape, popular rapper and singer Oludemilade Martin Alejo, professionally known as Ycee, has unleashed a blistering critique of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). The “Jagaban” crooner did not stop at calling for a democratic change in the 2027 general elections; instead, he demanded extreme judicial and physical retributions for the current crop of politicians, sparking a massive debate over the limits of political frustration and free speech.

Writing on the social media platform 𝕏 on Friday, February 6, 2026, Ycee expressed a level of vitriol rarely seen from high-profile celebrities. He asserted that simply losing power at the polls would be an insufficient consequence for the administration’s performance. The singer’s post utilized shockingly graphic language, calling for members of the government to be “publicly shamed,” “incarcerated,” and even executed by various means, including firing squads and lethal injections.

Ycee’s rhetoric reflects a deepening sense of “angry mobilization” that he believes every Nigerian should share. He characterized the current political class as an “absolute cancer” that needs to be “wiped off the face of the earth.” This visceral reaction appears to be rooted in the ongoing economic and social challenges facing the country, which many citizens continue to blame on the policies and governance style of the APC-led administration.

The rapper’s frustration extended beyond the ruling party to the political opposition, whom he accused of being ineffective and complicit. Ycee questioned why opposition leaders were not already “putting belt to ass” on those in power, suggesting that their silence indicates they might not behave differently if they eventually seize control. He challenged the opposition to mobilize and “take the fight to them,” rather than waiting for an election he predicts will be marred by “massive rigging.”

The singer’s post took an even more aggressive turn as he referenced classic hip-hop diss lyrics to emphasize his disdain. Channeling the energy of Tupac Shakur’s infamous “Hit ‘Em Up,” Ycee directed a profanity-laced tirade toward the APC “as a staff, political party, and a crew.” He concluded his post with a warning to anyone aligned with the party, effectively drawing a line in the sand between the ruling class and the disillusioned youth he represents.

While Ycee’s comments have been cheered by some frustrated Nigerians on social media, they have also raised concerns about the potential for inciting violence. Critics argue that while political criticism is a fundamental right, the call for executions and extrajudicial “putting down” of politicians crosses a dangerous line. Legal experts note that such rhetoric, especially from an influential figure with millions of followers, could be interpreted by security agencies as a threat to national stability.

This outburst marks a significant shift in Ycee’s public persona, moving from occasional social commentary to a position of radical political advocacy. It highlights the “boiling point” many Nigerian creatives have reached as the country prepares for the 2027 electoral cycle. By framing the struggle as one that requires more than “due process and a fair fight,” Ycee is tapping into a growing sentiment among the youth that the traditional democratic system may be broken beyond repair.

As of Saturday, the APC has yet to issue a formal response to the singer’s comments. However, the post continues to trend, serving as a stark reminder of the volatile intersection between celebrity influence and political unrest in Nigeria. For Ycee, the message is clear: the status quo is not just a failure, but a crime that deserves the ultimate punishment.
