Controversial street-hop artiste, Habeeb Okikiola aka Portable, has revealed that he received compensation after calling out the Ogun state government over the poor condition of roads.
He disclosed that he was paid N2 million to fix the damage done to his car during a crash that led to him criticising the government over failure to carry out its primary responsibility of infrastructure development.
CorrectNG recalls that Portable, who recently returned to Nigeria after his trip to U.S. tour and berated Governor Dapo Abiodun 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.”
Giving an update on the issue, the Zazuu Zeh star said he got compensation from ‘Oga’, and claimed that they made promises to him to fix all the bad roads in Ogun.
