Controversial Nigerian street singer, Habeeb Okikiola, better known as Portable, has once again set tongues wagging with his latest political declaration ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In a video posted on his Instagram page, Portable bluntly stated that his endorsement and support would go to whichever presidential candidate offers him money first.
According to him, he no longer insists on who his fans must vote for, but he will only pitch his loyalty to the candidate—whether Peter Obi, President Bola Tinubu, or the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)—who “drops money” before the elections.
“My fans, vote whoever you want. It was before I was saying otherwise. I will only vote for anyone who gives me money for the 2027 elections. Whoever drops money first between Peter Obi and Tinubu or PDP is the one I will endorse, and I will make sure my fans vote for him. I can’t go about hungry; vote for your helper,” Portable declared.
📌 Portable’s Political History
This is not the first time the singer’s political leanings have attracted attention. Months ago, Portable expressed disappointment after meeting Labour Party’s Peter Obi in Benin City, Edo State. The singer claimed Obi offered him nothing beyond a handshake, unlike President Tinubu, who had shown generosity.
In July, Portable also met with Seyi Tinubu, son of the President, and later praised him for “changing his life,” vowing that Nigerians would fare better under the Tinubu administration.
