Controversial street-pop artiste, Portable, has backed President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid, saying his second term will guarantee peace.
In a video circulating on social media, the singer urged Nigerians to support Tinubu, claiming that peace in the country depends on the president’s return to office.
He said, “Nigeria my country, we need peace, we want peace. If you do not want war in Nigeria, vote Tinubu. I do not want problem. If you do not want US-Iran type of war, follow Tinubu. I am telling you the world is wicked.”
Portable also made comments framed around ethnic solidarity, insisting that the presidency should remain with the Yoruba.
“It is Yoruba turn for second term oh. Woe betide a Yoruba indigene that doesn’t vote for Tinubu,” he said.

The singer further disclosed his involvement with a pro-Tinubu support group and suggested he had begun mobilising support for the president ahead of the 2027 elections.
“I just collected clothes, I haven’t collected money. If I collect money, I will share rice, noodles, and palm oil,” he added.
In another part of the video, Portable issued a controversial warning to those who have benefited from Tinubu’s leadership but may choose not to support him.
“If you have benefitted from Tinubu, and you refuse to vote Tinubu, may Ogun kill you, be drenched with your blood,” he said.
The artiste also dismissed criticisms over rising fuel prices, maintaining his loyalty to the president.
“They said petrol is expensive. Even if petrol is N1m, let God keep providing for me and my fans. For those of you bullying me, who do you expect me to support? I do not support loser. My fans please support Tinubu. The person I am following is not a loser,” he stated.
Portable, whose real name is Habeeb Okikiola, has been a vocal supporter of Tinubu and is among several entertainers who have publicly declared support for the president despite ongoing backlash on social media.
