Portable admitted to collecting money to attack the APC Presidential candidate, but the tables have now been turned.
Habeeb Okikiola, commonly known as Portable, a street-pop performer, has revealed that the All Progressive Congress (APC) paid him to endorse its presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.
This was revealed in a video that went viral on Wednesday, July 13, 2022.
The artist faced backlash on social media after proclaiming support for the APC in the Osun State governorship election on Saturday, July 16, 2022.
The Zazuu crooner also urged Nigerians to vote for Tinubu in the 2023 presidential race in a video shared on his Instagram page.
Meanwhile, Portable disclosed in a new video that he was paid to attack the previous Lagos State Governor during the EndSARS rally, but that he has changed his mind because he was paid by the APC.
"If they pay you, you must work." I was previously hired to make fun of Tinubu during protests. That happened a long time ago. The APC has now named Akoi Tinubu as its candidate.
"If they pay you, do your job and don't rip." When I was told to insult Tinubu, I took my pay and did my duty. Tinubu is the next in line. They're the ones who handed me money, and I have to work for the money I've earned. "APC, Akoi," he said in Yoruba.
Inspiration FM also reports that the controversial singer recently tied the knot with the mother of his newborn baby.
Portable and his wife, Omobewaji Oluwaferanmi Ewatomi's marriage also coincided with the naming ceremony of their child, Opeyemi Zazuu.
