Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has said he received N100 million in appreciation of his participation in campaign activities for the All Progressives Congress, APC.
The controversial singer announced the alleged payment in a video circulating on social media on Friday, where he displayed what appeared to be a bank alert.
Portable, in the video, wore an APC-branded shirt and a cap bearing the inscription of Ogun West Senator Solomon Adeola, popularly known as Yayi.
He further credited lawmaker and businessman, IBD Dende, for the money.
According to Portable, Adeola directed the payment to be made in recognition of his involvement in the party’s campaign activities ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“My dearest fans! I just woke up to an alert of N100m from Yayi! IBD Dende, oga mi! God bless you. Thank you! Yayi instructed them to send me the money,” he said.
The singer explained that he had earlier been informed that the senator was looking for him but initially suspected that the information was another attempt to deceive him.
According to him, he had previously received promises of financial rewards for participating in campaign activities but did not get the money.
Expressing excitement over the alleged payment, Portable prayed for Adeola and Dende, describing N100 million as a significant amount.
Newsunplug recalls that Portable had earlier publicly acknowledged receiving money for participating in APC campaign activities in support of President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.
