Nigerian singer Portable claims he received 100 million naira from Senator Solomon Adeola, known as Yayi, the APC candidate for governor of Ogun State. In a video shared on social media on Friday, he says he campaigned for the party and initially suspected a scam, according to Vanguard.
Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, known as Portable, says he received 100 million naira from Senator Solomon Adeola, known as Yayi, the APC candidate for governor of Ogun State. In a video posted on social media on Friday, he says the senator instructed that the sum be sent to him after he took part in the party’s campaign activities.
In the video, Portable wears a T-shirt and cap in APC colours, the cap bearing Yayi’s name. He thanks the senator and the politician IBD Dende, who had asked him to go home, promising to get in touch. He says he initially doubted it, as he had received nothing after an earlier announcement of a transfer.
This statement comes a few weeks after Portable publicly acknowledged having received money for taking part in APC campaign activities in favour of Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election. The party had confirmed Solomon Adeola’s candidacy for governor of Ogun in August.
