Portable Claims He Received N100m From Yayi After Performing at APC Campaign Rally

According to a report by Nigerian Tribune on Saturday, November 14, 2026, Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has claimed that he received N100 million from Senator Solomon Adeola, also known as Yayi, after performing at campaign activities organised for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The controversial musician disclosed this while appreciating the senator and other political associates, claiming that the money was transferred to his bank account while he was asleep.

Portable said he was surprised when he woke up and discovered a credit alert for N100 million. He attributed the payment to Yayi, who allegedly instructed that the money be sent to him.

Expressing his excitement, the singer said he received the money from IBD Dende, whom he thanked and described as his boss.

He also recalled that IBD had spoken to him the previous day, asking him to return home and promising to get in touch with him. According to Portable, some senior associates later informed him that Yayi was looking for him.

The revelation came after the singer participated in an APC campaign rally, where he entertained supporters with an energetic musical performance.

A video recorded after the event showed Portable lying on the stadium floor, apparently exhausted from performing before the crowd.

The singer subsequently expressed dissatisfaction with the physical demands of the performance, while appealing for an opportunity to meet President Bola Tinubu and his son, Seyi Tinubu.

He also suggested that the amount he received was not enough considering the energy he expended during the campaign activities.

Portable complained that the performance had taken a serious toll on his body, claiming that he almost collapsed while entertaining the crowd.

In his words, “I want to see Tinubu and Seyi Tinubu; they have almost squeezed me to death. I have fainted; it is Tinubu that is winning. Did we not collect money? Tinubu, pay me more money; I am feeling so much heat,” he said.

His claim that he received N100 million following his participation in the APC campaign activities has attracted attention, particularly over the financial benefits he said came with his involvement in the political event.
