Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, a street-pop performer, has revealed that the All Progressive Congress (APC) paid him to endorse its presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu and he has to deliver.
Portable also said that he formerly collected funds to criticize the APC presidential candidate, but now things have changed and he is with Tinubu and supporting his ambition to be president of Nigeria.
This was revealed in a video that was released online on Wednesday, July 13, 2022.
Prior to this, the musician had faced heavy backlash on social media for endorsing the APC in the Osun State governorship election scheduled for Saturday, July 16, 2022.
In a video posted on his Instagram page, the Zazuu crooner also asked Nigerians to vote for Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election.
Meanwhile, in a new video, Portable revealed how he was paid to insult the former Lagos State Governor during the EndSARS protest, but declared that he has changed his views because he was paid by the APC.
“If they pay you money, you have to work. I was once paid to insult Tinubu during the protests. That was a long time ago. Now, APC has said Akoi Tinubu.
“If they pay you, do your job, no ripping. When I was asked to insult Tinubu, I collected my money and did my job. Now Tinubu is the next. They’re the ones that gave me money, and I must do the work for the money I collected. Akoi APC,” he said in Yoruba.
