Controversial Nigerian street singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has stirred reactions with a fresh declaration ahead of the 2027 general elections.
According to him, whichever of Peter Obi, President Bola Tinubu, or the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) gives him money first will secure his endorsement and the votes of his fans.
“My fans, vote whoever you want. It was before I was saying otherwise. I will only vote for anyone who gives me money for the 2027 elections. Whoever drops money first between Peter Obi and Tinubu or PDP is the one I will endorse, and I will make sure my fans vote for him. I can’t go about hungry; vote for your helper,” he said.
Portable’s Political Affiliations
The singer’s statement comes months after he expressed disappointment over his encounter with the Labour Party’s Peter Obi in Benin City, Edo State. Portable had complained that unlike President Tinubu, Obi gave him nothing when they met, only offering him a handshake despite flying economy, while the singer was in first class.
In July, Portable met with Seyi Tinubu, son of the President, and later praised him for “changing his life,” assuring Nigerians that they would be better under the Tinubu administration.
