Obi is not generous, didn’t dash me money – Portable laments during meeting with politician in Benin (VIDEO)
  • Portable was left absolutely starstruck after coming face-to-face with former presidential candidate Peter Obi.
  • In a viral video that’s setting social media on fire, the controversial singer practically folded himself in half, bowing in respect as he approached Obi near his car.
  • The politician responded with a warm embrace, but the real drama kicked in afterward.
  • The Zazuu crooner went on to teasingly lament about the meeting, fueling a frenzy of reactions across the internet

Nigerian music sensation and king of controversy, Habeeb Okikiola, better known as Portable, has let loose a fiery rant after his recent encounter with 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and trust me—it’s got tongues wagging.

In a video that’s blowing up all over social media, Portable, who was in Benin, Edo State for a show, crossed paths with Obi, who was in town drumming up support for Labour Party’s gubernatorial hopeful, Olumide Akpata.

What started as a seemingly cordial exchange quickly took a sharp, unexpected twist.

Portable never one to bite his tongue, voiced his disappointment there and there, after meeting Obi. According to him, despite his attempts to cozy up to the politician, Obi didn’t drop a dime for him or his squad.

He didn’t hold back, boldly claimed the outcome would have been different if it had been President Bola Tinubu, essentially calling Obi out for being stingy.

Speaking passionately in Yoruba, Portable went off, saying, “Obi cannot give us anything. Obi didn’t give us anything. If it was Tinubu we met, he would have given us something. Let’s go.”
