Portable Declares Political Loyalty for Sale Ahead of 2027 Elections
Controversial Nigerian street-pop artist Habeeb Olalomi Badmus, famously known as Portable, has ignited social media yet again. This time, he’s refusing to align with any political party ahead of the 2027 general elections—unless they pay him first.
In a viral video collage posted on Instagram, Portable made his stance crystal clear. He won’t go hungry for politics. Instead, he invites political parties to “bring money” if they want his support. His message? The highest bidder gets the endorsement.
“Vote for whoever you want,” Portable told fans. “Me? I support who drops money first—Peter Obi, Tinubu, or PDP.”
Loyalty Comes with a Price
Portable didn’t mince words. He directly called out major political figures, including Labour Party’s Peter Obi, President Bola Tinubu, and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). His position? Money talks louder than party ideals.
He said openly that his support isn’t free. Political parties must financially back him if they want access to his massive fan base and street influence.
Family First, Politics Later
The singer emphasized that he has responsibilities. With several children and dependents, he says he can’t afford to suffer while politicians thrive. He recalled past experiences in politics that led to no reward and even prison time.
“I once supported Senator Solomon Adeola, but ended up in jail,” he said. “Even Seyi Tinubu, my guy, never gave me money.”
“Don’t Spoil My Life with Rice”
Portable also slammed fans and politicians who expect him to campaign for free. He mentioned that he often spends his own money to buy rice and distribute it to fans.
“You want me to campaign and still feed people with my own money?” he asked. “If I use my voice for you, support me financially.”
He warned against using his generosity against him, stating, “Don’t spoil my life with rice.”
Obi’s Handshake vs. Tinubu’s Support
Portable took a jab at Peter Obi, recounting an event in Benin City where the Labour Party candidate allegedly gave him nothing but a handshake. In contrast, he claimed President Tinubu changed his life after he met Seyi Tinubu in July.
That experience, he suggests, proves his loyalty comes with real expectations—not empty gestures.
