I refused to perform at Tinubu’s inauguration concert because N10m was approved for me but they wanted to give me N5m – Singer Portable

Singer, Habeeb Okikiola, aka Portable, has said that he did not perform at the Tinubu inauguration concert held on Thursday, May 25, in Abuja because the organizers of the event wanted to offer him N5 million instead of the N10m approved for his performance.

According to him, he was told that N10 million had been budgeted for him to perform but that he was only going to be paid N5 million.

In a video shared online, Portable said:

“Na me sing Akoi Tinubu o. No be Obi una dey vote for? Tinubu enter now those useless people una go dey perform there, no be me promote Tinubu? Na so them call my manager o. Say them want make I come perform for Abuja. Na 10 million them drop o, but na five million go reach Portable hand. Na so I no gree, I tear the paper. I delete the number, you dey whine Jesus? Na hin no make me perform for Abuja o.”

Other artists like Naira Marley performed at the concert that was attended by Tinubu and his vice, Kashim Shettima.
