By ‘Balogun Ibrahim
Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has claimed that the All Progressives Congress governorship candidate in Ogun State, Senator Solomon Adeola, also known as Yayi, gifted him N100m for participating in the party’s campaign activities.
Portable made the claim in a video circulating on social media on Friday, where he expressed excitement over the alleged payment and appreciated Adeola and another politician, IBD Dende.
In the video, the singer was seen wearing an APC-branded shirt and a cap bearing Yayi’s name while displaying campaign materials featuring the senator.

Portable explained that IBD Dende had earlier asked him to return home, promising to contact him later. However, some of his associates subsequently informed him that Adeola was looking for him.
He said he initially doubted the information because of a previous experience in which he was reportedly informed that money had been sent to him, but he received nothing.
“My dearest fans! I just woke up to an alert of N100m from Yayi! IBD Dende, oga mi! God bless you. Thank you! Yayi instructed them to send me the money. I took a nap, and God saved me from death,” he said.
The singer added that he was initially suspicious when he heard that Adeola wanted to reach him.
“Are you the one to tell me that Yayi is looking for me?’ I asked. They wanted to scam me, just as they did when Yayi sent money previously. I did not get a dime then,” he said.
Expressing further excitement, Portable said, “Thank you, Lord! Yayi has sent N100m. Thank you, IBD Dende. May your children be glorious! May you live long, my daddy. It shall be well with you. N100m is not a small amount at all!”
The claim comes weeks after Portable publicly acknowledged receiving payments for participating in APC campaign activities in support of President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.
