Controversial Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has claimed that he woke up to a whopping N100m alert after participating in campaign activities for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The street-hop singer made the startling revelation in a video circulating on social media on Friday, where he celebrated the alleged payment and showered praises on Senator Solomon Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, and businessman IBD Dende.
In the video, Portable appeared in an APC-branded shirt and a cap bearing Yayi’s inscription as he displayed campaign materials associated with the politician.
Excitedly announcing the alleged windfall, the singer claimed that the money was sent on Yayi’s instructions in appreciation of his campaign activities.
He said, “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. I took a nap, and God saved me from death.”
Portable also recalled how some people had previously approached him with claims that Yayi was looking for him, only for him to allegedly receive no money after an earlier payment arrangement.
He said he initially suspected another attempt to deceive him before discovering that the N100m had allegedly been transferred to his account.
Overwhelmed by the development, the singer prayed for the politician and his family, describing the alleged payment as a huge blessing.
“Thank you, Lord! Yayi has sent N100m. Thank you, IBD Dende. May your children be glorious! May you live long, my daddy. It shall be well with you. N100m is not a small amount at all!” he added.
The latest claim comes weeks after Portable openly acknowledged receiving money for participating in APC campaign activities ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In October, the singer had appealed to President Bola Tinubu and his son, Seyi Tinubu, for more money after performing at an APC rally at the Onikan Stadium in Lagos on October 13.
In a video recorded after the rally, Portable was seen lying on the stadium floor, complaining that the physical demands of entertaining the crowd had almost left him incapacitated.
He had declared: “I want to see Tinubu and Seyi Tinubu; they have almost squeezed me to death. I have fainted; it is Tinubu that is winning. Did we not collect money? Tinubu, pay me more money; I am feeling so much heat.”
Although he acknowledged being paid for his performance, Portable insisted that his efforts deserved additional compensation.
In another video that circulated earlier in October, the singer claimed that campaign payments had improved his financial situation after a period of financial difficulties.
