Controversial street-hop musician, Habeeb Okikiola, known professionally as Portable, has claimed that he was not rewarded for supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2023 elections.
He made this revelation during an Instagram live session, while informing fans that he didn’t receive any money for his support but he chose to let it slide.
Portable lamented about being “used” but still decided to remain calm because anybody trying to fight government will only lose.
The Zazuu star said; “I supported Tinubu but I didn’t get any money. I was used but I am calm. You’re k!lling yourselves in the name of fighting the government. The government has nothing to lose.”

CorrectNG recalls that Portable, has revealed why he made the decision to not participate in the planned nationwide protest against bad governance.
Addressing youths who criticised him for advising against hitting the streets, Portable said protesting is done by only people who are p00r.
The ‘Clear’ crooner who recalled when he joined the EndSARS protest in 2020, said he is now a rich man doing well or himself, so he cannot join the citizens on the street.
Portable said: “My fans. Some said I protested in 2020. Yes, it is true, but I was poor at that time. Now, I am rich. Have you ever seen Femi Otedola, Aliko Dangote and Dele Momodu protesting? Then, I was thinking like a poor man who had nothing. I am now rich. Rich people don’t fight.
“It will not end well for anyone who suggests that I should go and sing in a protest. Why don’t you take the microphone and sing at the protest yourself? If you are hustling and you have work to do, you will not join them to protest.
“Fight for yourself, and not for Nigeria. Nigeria is okay. It is you that is not yet okay. The money is where it is; you are the one who is not working, and you don’t stay loyal to your helper. People that will help you are also available; you are the one who is not networking. Fight for yourself, so that your career will not turn into a barrier.”
