Portable appeals to Tinubu over Ogun State property dispute

Controversial singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has made an emotional plea to President Bola Tinubu, seeking intervention in his ongoing feud with the Ogun State government.

The singer’s appeal comes after state authorities sealed his uncompleted building and hotel over alleged illegal development without an approval permit.

Portable had previously lamented the situation, claiming that despite his contributions to the community—such as installing streetlights and repairing roads—his properties were still being targeted.

In a video shared on his Instagram page, the Zazuu crooner, appearing subdued, called on Tinubu to urge Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, to reconsider. He alleged that his troubles stem from his support for Senator Solomon Adeola, popularly known as Yayi.

“Emi Omo Ogun, they are angry at me because I wore Yayi’s shirt. That I am promoting Yayi,” he lamented.

Despite his grievances, Portable still extended goodwill to Governor Abiodun, saying, “Dapo Abiodun, your time in office wouldn’t spoil. After God, na government. Zazuu, I dey humble.”

“Yes, I love her. She is amazing, she is cool. I want to marry her.”

VIDEO: Portable under spiritual attack, says elder sister

The elder sister of Nigerian singer, songwriter, and rapper Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, popularly known as Portable, has publicly apologized to Nigerians for his controversial behaviour, alleging that a family member is spiritually influencing his actions.

In a viral video circulating on X, formerly known as Twitter, the woman identified herself as Portable’s elder sister and expressed gratitude to the singer for his generosity. She revealed that he had supported her during a critical health challenge, ensuring her treatment and recovery.

She accused a certain family member, identified as Akeem, of being responsible for Portable’s erratic behavior. According to her, Akeem has also been targeting her, and she urged the public to hold him accountable if anything happened to her or the singer.

In her words:

“People of Nigeria, I greet you. Regarding my younger brother, I am his elder sister, the first child of his mother. She gave birth to three children.

Portable has never stolen. No one helped us in the past, but when he started making money, he took care of us.

I’ve never spoken out like this before, and he hasn’t even posted me despite being his sister. When I had health issues, Portable sent money for my treatment, even while he was in London.

Portable is the one taking care of the family. If not for him, I would have died.

If anything happens to me, Akeem is responsible. He is the one influencing Portable, making him misbehave and offend Nigerians.”
