Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, better known as Portable, has publicly expressed his disappointment over not receiving any monetary reward despite his support for President Bola Tinubu. The singer, known for his hit song "Zazu," revealed his grievances during a recent Instagram Live session with fans.
Portable, who has made headlines for his outspoken views and colorful personality, described his support for Tinubu as a disappointing experience. He claimed that his backing of the president did not yield the financial benefits he expected, stating, “I supported Tinubu but I didn’t get any money. I was used but I am calm.”
In his Instagram Live session, Portable criticized the act of challenging the government, suggesting that it was a futile endeavor. He expressed frustration with the idea of fighting the government, arguing that such efforts are pointless as the government has little to lose from public dissent.
Portable’s remarks underscore his disillusionment with political engagement and highlight the broader dissatisfaction some public figures and citizens feel regarding their perceived lack of influence or reward in political matters.
The singer's comments come amidst ongoing discussions about the role of celebrities in politics and their impact on public perception and policy. Portable’s candid admission of feeling “used” serves as a reminder of the complexities and potential disillusionments that can accompany political support.
