Portable Unplugged: The Singer Who Supported Tinubu But Didn't Get Paid!

Get the inside scoop on Portable's hot takes about his controversial support for President Tinubu!

In a fiery outburst that has set social media ablaze, controversial Nigerian singer Portable, also known as Habeeb Okikiola, has weighed in on the ongoing nationwide protests. Portable boldly claimed that the federal government has ‘nothing to lose’, stirring quite the discussion among his fans and critics alike. Known for his eccentric personality and candid remarks, Portable's comments come as part of a larger conversation about the state of governance in Nigeria and the cries for change echoed across the nation.

However, it’s not just the protests that are causing a ruckus. Portable wasn’t shy to express his discontent over the lack of monetary compensation for the support he extended to President Bola Tinubu during the recent elections. He stated, with a tone dripping in sarcasm, that he felt he was ‘used’ without any form of reward for his loyalty. This confession has left many shocked, wondering about the sometimes blurry lines of artist support in politics—especially when it becomes a topic of contention.

Adding fuel to the fire, Portable’s controversial remarks come at a time when he faces a significant backlash on social media, resulting in a staggering loss of over 100,000 followers on Instagram. It appears that his candidness has not played well with a section of his audience, leading to mixed reviews about his support for Tinubu and his outcry regarding the perceived lack of appreciation from the government.

As the dust settles on this drama, Portable’s revelations not only shine a light on the often tumultuous relationship between celebrities and politics in Nigeria but also reflect the broader discontent among citizens towards governance. It’s a reminder that in the clamor for change, even those in the limelight can find themselves grappling with the consequences of their alliances. Moreover, the rise and fall of a celebrity’s influence can be just as volatile as the political landscape itself, making for a fascinating intersection of fame, fortune, and the fight for justice.
