Habeeb Okikiola, the singer popularly known as Portable has criticised Governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun over the poor condition of roads in parts of the state.
Portable,who recently returned to Nigeria after his trip to U.S. tour and berated the governor after his new Range Rover got stuck in a ditch along Sango Ota road.
In videos posted on his Instagram stories, the Ogun-born singer questioned Abiodun’s ability to govern the state if he can’t provide basic infrastructure like motorable roads.
The 30-year-old musician asked the governor to step aside and make way for a more competent person who will prioritise road repairs.
Portable said: “Earthly mothers, pray for my car to get out of this ditch. Dapo Abiodun, please help us fix our roads or step aside for someone who will. Let someone willing to. I heard that former Senator for Ogun West, Solomon Adeola, aka Yayi, said he wants to fix the roads, but you (Dapo Abiodun) told him not to because you’re in power. Mr Governor, this road is wrong; look at my car, and I just returned from America.
“In America, cars don’t get dirty or stuck in ditches. Dapo, step aside for Yayi to do it. We have money in Ogun State, but bad roads and leaders make us suffer. We’re suffering because of bad roads. We have cars, but bad roads are our problem. Dapo, fix the roads before your term ends or allow Yayi to do it.
“How will I drive my Emi Lokan car on these bad roads? I’ve bought a luxury car (Emi Lokan), and should people have to help me push it when it arrives? If one rich man doesn’t suffer, others will not know. I’m suffering as a rich man because of the bad roads in Ogun State.”
He also mentioned that he can’t live in Lekki due to flooding, and the bad roads in Ogun, where he currently resides, are causing him frustration.
“They have ruined this country; there’s nothing to eat, and the youth are suffering. I’m already regretting my return to Nigeria. I just came back to check on my family, but based on what I’ve seen, I’m going back to America soon,” the singer added.
