They Paid Me N5m Instead Of N10m & I Rejected It- Portable Reveals Why He Didn’t Perform At Tinubu’s Inauguration Concert 

Street singer and Zaazu crooner, Habeeb Okikiola fondly known as Portable has revealed why he chose to stay away from Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s inauguration concert on Thursday night in Abuja.

Portable made this known in a video posted on social media on Friday. According to him, he was ripped by the middlemen acting between the event organizers and him.

He explained that the agreement he had with them was for the sum of ten million naira but to his surprise, he was paid a sum of five million naira to perform at the concert.

He however rejected the money, tore the contract papers and refused to show up at the venue.

The concert, which was tagged Renewed Hope Concert and held in Abuja on Thursday night, had artistes like Wande Coal, KCee, and others in attendance.

Tinubu and the Vice President-elect Senator Kashim Shettima also graced the concert.

Ranting about the development on social media, Portable noted that those who performed at the concert did not vote for Tinubu but they voted for Peter Obi of the Labour Party.

The saazu singer who spoke in Pidgin language said he campaigned vigorously for Tinubu and did everything for him to win the election but he realized he had just been used. He said his efforts were not appreciated.

He wrote, “ZAzuu Them Dõn Rip Me oooh Na Me Sing Akoi TINUBU ✍???? Eja Loni Ibu. Give What Belongs To ZAZUU To ZAZUU.”

In one of the videos, he said, “Na me sing Akoi Tinubu o. No be Obi una dey vote for? Tinubu enter now those useless people una go dey perform there, no be me promote Tinubu?

“Na so them call my manager o. Say them want make I come perform for Abuja. Na 10 million them drop o, but na five million go reach portable hand. Na so I no gree, I tear the paper. I delete the number, you dey whine Jesus? Na hin no make me perform for Abuja o.”
