Portable Claims He Received N100m After APC Campaign Appearance


Nigerian street-pop singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has claimed that he received N100m from Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, after participating in campaign activities for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The singer made the claim in a video circulating on social media on Friday, in which he appeared wearing an APC-branded shirt and a cap bearing the senator's name while displaying campaign materials featuring the politician.

Portable said he woke up to discover that N100m had been credited to his bank account, alleging that Adeola had instructed that the money be sent to him in recognition of his campaign activities.

Expressing appreciation, the singer praised the senator and another political associate, IBD Dende, whom he also acknowledged in the video.

He further alleged that some political associates had previously attempted to withhold money sent to him during an earlier campaign engagement, claiming that he received nothing from that arrangement.

The latest development follows Portable's participation in political activities supporting the APC ahead of the 2027 general elections.

In October, the singer performed at an APC rally held at the Onikan Stadium in Lagos on October 13, where he entertained supporters of President Bola Tinubu.

Following the performance, he shared a video complaining about the physical demands of the event and calling on Tinubu and his son, Seyi Tinubu, to provide additional payment for his participation.

In the video, Portable said he had become exhausted from entertaining the crowd and insisted that his efforts deserved further compensation.

He acknowledged receiving money for the appearance but maintained that he deserved more.

The singer had also previously disclosed that payments from political engagements helped improve his financial situation after experiencing difficulties.

However, Portable's latest claim of receiving N100m from Adeola has not been independently verified. Neither the senator nor the APC has publicly confirmed the alleged transfer or disclosed its purpose.
