Street-pop singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has claimed that he received N100 million from Ogun State governorship candidate Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, in recognition of his work for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The claim was made in a video that circulated on social media on Friday. In it, the singer wore an APC-branded shirt and a cap bearing Yayi’s name, and showed off campaign materials featuring the Ogun West senator, who is the APC’s governorship candidate for the 2027 election in Ogun.

Portable said he woke up to find N100 million in his account and that Yayi had instructed that the money be sent to him. He thanked the politician and an associate he called IBD Dende, and prayed for their long life and their children’s success.

The singer explained that he had attended one of Yayi’s events a day earlier, but was told to go home and wait because the senator would reach out to him later.

He said some of his “street politician” associates then told him Yayi was looking for him, which made him suspicious. He alleged that people had tried to scam him before by claiming Yayi had sent money, saying he never received a kobo on that occasion.

The claim comes weeks after Portable openly acknowledged being paid to take part in APC campaign activities in support of President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections. After performing at an APC rally at the Onikan Stadium in Lagos on October 13, he was seen in a video lying on the ground, complaining of exhaustion and appealing to Tinubu and his son, Seyi, for more money. Around the same time, he said the earnings from campaign work had improved his finances after a period of hardship.

The N100 million claim has not been independently verified, and the source and purpose of the alleged payment remain unclear. No public confirmation from Yayi or his campaign team was available at the time of filing. The video drew a mixed reaction online, with many social media users doubting the amount.
