Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has claimed that he received N100m after participating in campaign activities for the All Progressives Congress.
The street-pop singer made the claim in a video circulating on social media on Friday. In the video, Portable wore an APC-branded shirt and a cap bearing the inscription of Solomon Adeola, popularly known as Yayi. He also displayed campaign materials featuring the politician.
Portable claimed that he woke up to find N100m credited to his account, alleging that the money was sent on the politician’s instructions in recognition of his campaign activities.
He said, “My dearest fans! I just woke up to an alert of N100m from Yayi! IBD Dende, oga mi! God bless you. Thank you! Yayi instructed them to send me the money. I took a nap, and God saved me from death.
“When I woke up today, I remembered that IBD had asked me to go home yesterday and said he would reach out to me. But some of my senior street brothers and street politicians came to tell me that Yayi was looking for me.
“Are you the one to tell me that Yayi is looking for me?’ I asked. They wanted to scam me, just as they did when Yayi sent money previously. I did not get a dime then.”
He thanked God and the politician for the alleged payment.
