“They Almost Squeezed Me to Death” — Portable Begs Tinubu, Seyi for More Funds

Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu and his son, Seyi Tinubu, to increase his payment following his participation in an All Progressives Congress (APC) rally in Lagos.

The rally, held on Tuesday at Onikan Stadium, was organised in support of the Tinubu-Shettima political ticket.

Videos circulating on social media showed Portable moving around the venue, entertaining supporters and participating in campaign activities.

However, the singer appeared exhausted in one viral clip, where he was seen lying on the floor and insisting that he wanted to meet Tinubu and Seyi before leaving.

His manager, Babylov, was also seen trying to persuade him to get up as they prepared to leave the stadium.

Reports indicated that Portable fainted amid overcrowding at the event.

Although the singer acknowledged receiving payment for attending the rally, he argued that the physical stress he experienced deserved additional 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,” he said.

Portable subsequently appealed for more money, complaining about the heat and conditions at the venue.

“Tinubu, pay me more money; I am feeling so much heat,” the singer added.
