Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, better known as Portable, has reacted to the death of Nigeria’s former president, Muhammadu Buhari.
In a video captured online, the street singer described Buhari as the man who ordered men to shoot people at the Lekki Toll Gate. He admonished the public to do good as he prays the former president dies again in Heaven.
Portable reaffirmed that Buhari was the one who ordered the shooting, not Tinubu.
“The man that said they should shoot our people at The Lekki Still Gate is dead. Let us do good. May he die again in Heaven. He was the one that ordered the shooting, not Tinubu. He died in London”.
Last month, Portable had recounted his first experience with former governor and presidential candidate Peter Obi. The street singer said he only received a handshake when he met the politician. According to him, he was flying first class while Peter Obi was flying economy.
Recall that last year, Portable had expressed disappointment after meeting with the 2023 Labor Party presidential candidate in Benin City, Edo State. In a clip from the meetup, Portable had lamented bitterly over how the former governor didn’t give him any money. Comparing him to the current President Tinubu, he stated that the President would have given him money if he had the opportunity of meeting him.
In 2022, Portable met with the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, and couldn’t hide his excitement. The singer was able to win the admiration of the monarch, who was so impressed with him that he gave him bundles of nairas, and said he would have given him more if he had been informed of his visit.
Back in 2023, Portable visited the house of former NURTW chairman, MC Oluomo. Sharing clips from the visit on his Instagram page, MC Oluomo stated that he had the pleasure of hosting a surprise visit from the renowned hip-hop artiste at his home. He revealed that Portable’s insightful perspectives on the event and his music left him feeling inspired.
