Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu and his son, Seyi Tinubu, for additional payment following his participation in an All Progressives Congress (APC) rally in Lagos.
The singer made the demand in a viral video after attending the Tinubu-Shettima rally held at Onikan Stadium on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, where he entertained supporters and joined campaign activities ahead of the 2027 general election.
In the footage circulating online, Portable appeared exhausted and was seen lying on the floor while insisting that he wanted to meet the President and his son before leaving the venue. His manager, Babylov, was also seen attempting to get him back on his feet.
Portable complained that the heat and overcrowding at the rally had taken a toll on him, claiming that he had fainted during the event.
Despite acknowledging that he had already received payment for his appearance, the singer 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. Did we not collect money? Tinubu, pay me more money; I am feeling so much heat,” he said.
The video has generated reactions on social media, with users commenting on the singer’s demand for more money after the rally and his involvement in political campaigning.
Portable had earlier claimed that he received payment to participate in activities supporting Tinubu, adding that the money had improved his financial situation.
Neither Tinubu nor Seyi Tinubu had publicly responded to the singer’s latest demand in the reports available.
