Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has claimed that he received ₦100 million after participating in a campaign organised by the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The controversial musician disclosed this while expressing gratitude to his fans and an individual he identified as Yayi, whom he credited with facilitating the payment.
Portable expressed surprise over the alleged payment, claiming that he went to sleep and woke up to discover that ₦100 million had been sent to him.
In a statement shared with his fans, the singer said:
“I just slept and woke up and saw N100m my fans. Thank you o. It’s Yayi that said they should send it to me o.”
The singer also recalled his experience during an earlier political campaign, claiming that he did not receive any payment for his participation at the time.
Comparing both experiences, Portable said he was grateful for the latest payment, adding:
“The last campaign we went for I didn’t receive anything. Thank you sir.”
Although the singer attributed the reported payment to Yayi, he did not disclose the identity of the individual or organisation that transferred the money.
He also did not provide further details about the transaction or the specific APC campaign that reportedly earned him the payment.
Portable’s revelation has sparked interest in the financial arrangements involving entertainers and political parties during election campaigns, particularly the reported sums paid to celebrities for political participation.
