Nigerian street-pop singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has stirred fresh reactions after claiming that he received a ₦100 million bank alert following his participation in campaign activities for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a video circulating on social media on Friday, November 13, the singer appeared wearing an APC-branded shirt and a cap bearing the name of Senator Solomon Adeola, popularly known as Yayi. He thanked the politician and businessman IBD Dende, claiming that he woke up to discover ₦100 million had been credited to his account.
Portable alleged that Adeola instructed someone to send him the money in appreciation of his campaign activities.
The latest claim comes weeks after the singer performed at an APC rally at Onikan Stadium in Lagos on October 13. Following that appearance, he publicly complained about the physical demands of the performance and called on President Bola Tinubu and his son, Seyi Tinubu, to give him more money.
However, the reported ₦100 million payment has not been independently verified. The source and purpose of the alleged transfer also remain unclear, and the report did not include confirmation from Adeola.
For now, the story remains Portable’s account of what happened, rather than a verified banking transaction.
