The singer says the payment was made on the instructions of Senator Solomon Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, following his participation in APC campaign activities. The alleged transfer has not been independently verified.

Nigerian street-pop singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has claimed that he received ₦100 million after participating in campaign activities for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Portable made the claim in a video circulating on social media on Friday, in which he appeared wearing an APC-branded shirt and a cap bearing the name of Senator Solomon Adeola, popularly known as Yayi.

The singer said he woke up to discover that ₦100 million had been credited to his bank account, alleging that the payment was made on the politician’s instructions in appreciation of his campaign activities.

In the video, Portable expressed surprise and gratitude over the alleged payment, saying he had earlier been told that Yayi wanted to reach him.

“My dearest fans! I just woke up to an alert of ₦100m from Yayi! IBD Dende, oga mi! God bless you. Thank you! Yayi instructed them to send me the money,” he said.

He also recalled that some individuals had previously approached him with claims that the politician was looking for him, but he initially suspected they might be attempting to deceive him.

Portable thanked Yayi for the alleged financial reward, describing the amount as significant.

“Thank you, Lord! Yayi has sent ₦100m. Thank you, IBD Dende. May your children be glorious! May you live long, my daddy. It shall be well with you. ₦100m is not a small amount at all!” he added.

The latest claim comes weeks after Portable publicly acknowledged receiving payment for participating in APC campaign activities in support of President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.

In October, the singer performed at an APC rally held at Onikan Stadium in Lagos on October 13. Following the performance, he posted a video in which he complained about the physical demands of entertaining the crowd and called for additional payment.

Portable also expressed a desire to meet President Tinubu and his son, Seyi Tinubu, insisting that his efforts at the rally deserved further compensation.

“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.

The singer subsequently acknowledged receiving money for his campaign involvement, while maintaining that he deserved additional compensation for his performance.

In another video circulated earlier in October, Portable said the money he received from campaign activities had improved his financial situation after a period of financial difficulties.

Although Portable has publicly claimed that ₦100 million was transferred to his account, the alleged payment has not been independently verified.

Details surrounding the transaction, including confirmation of the transfer, its precise source and whether it was formally connected to APC campaign activities, remain unclear.

Neither the alleged payment nor the circumstances surrounding it have been independently established from the information available.

The development has drawn attention because of the singer’s increasingly public involvement in political campaign activities ahead of the 2027 general elections.
