Controversial street-hop singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has once again sparked reactions online after declaring that he will support whichever political party or candidate offers him money in the forthcoming 2027 general elections.
In a viral video shared on his official Instagram page on Thursday, the “Zazu Zeh” crooner addressed his fans, making it clear that his political allegiance will be sold to the highest bidder, regardless of party affiliation.
Explaining his stance, Portable bluntly admitted that survival, not loyalty, would guide his choice:
“I can’t be campaigning around and be hungry.”
The singer went further to urge his fans to prepare for the polls by ensuring they had their voter’s cards ready, adding that their votes should go to any politician willing to provide financial support.
“My fans, hope your voter’s card are ready? We will be voting for any candidate that gives us money. Election is starting soon. I’m voting for anyone that gives me money, that can help my life. I’m the owner of my life and my voter’s card. Bring the money and let me help my people, the people are hungry,” he declared.
Portable did not stop there. He emphasized that his support is open to all, from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP), and even the Labour Party led by Peter Obi.
“If it is APC that first brings the money they will own me. If PDP come first, I will also collect. Even if it is Peter Obi, I will ask you to vote for him. Vote for anyone who gives you money. Vote for your helper,” he stated.
This is not the first time Portable has made headlines for his political commentary. Back in 2024, he publicly called out President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, accusing him of neglect after he had campaigned in his favor during the 2023 presidential election without receiving any financial reward.
With the 2027 elections still two years away, Portable’s controversial remarks are already stirring debates about vote-buying, political loyalty, and the desperation of celebrities seeking political patronage.
