Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has claimed that he received N100m from Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, also known as Yayi, after campaigning for the All Progressives Congress.
Portable made the claim in a viral video on Friday, November 13, 2026, where he expressed appreciation to the senator, who is positioning himself for the 2027 Ogun State governorship election.
In the video, the street-pop singer, dressed in an APC-themed outfit and a cap bearing Yayi’s branding, told his fans that he woke up to discover the alleged payment in his bank account.
“My fans, I just woke up to N100 million credit to my account. It’s Yayi that said they should give me the money. Yayi, thank you so much. God bless you. N100m is a huge amount,” he said.
The singer’s statement comes amid increasing political activities ahead of the 2027 general elections, with politicians and aspirants engaging entertainers and other influential personalities to promote their campaigns and connect with supporters.
Adeola, a senator representing Ogun West Senatorial District, is a prominent member of the APC and has been associated with the party’s political activities in Ogun State.
His reported governorship ambition has also placed him among key figures in the state’s preparations for the next election cycle.
Portable’s latest claim follows his earlier public comments about receiving payments for political campaigns.
In October 2026, the singer said the APC had paid him to participate in rallies in support of President Bola Tinubu.
He also reportedly complained after attending an APC rally at Onikan Stadium in Lagos on October 13, alleging that the physical demands of the event had left him exhausted and demanding additional payment from Tinubu and his son, Seyi.
Portable has remained a controversial figure in Nigeria’s entertainment industry, frequently attracting attention through his music, public disputes and outspoken comments about politics and personal finances.
However, the singer’s claim of receiving N100m from Adeola has not been independently verified.
As of the time of filing this report, neither the senator nor the APC had publicly confirmed the alleged payment.
