Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has confirmed the receipt of N100 million following his participation in campaign activities for the Ogun State All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Solomon Adeola, popularly known as Yayi.
He made this known on Friday in a trending video which made the rounds online, where he displayed what appeared to be the said bank alert.
Prior to this, Portable had alleged he was not paid despite making an appearance for the APC in Lagos, calling on President Bola Tinubu and his son, Seyi, to intervene.
However, the controversial singer subsequently publicly acknowledged receiving money for participating in APC campaign activities in support of President Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In his latest video, the artist, who wore an APC-branded shirt and a cap bearing the inscription of Yayi, credited the lawmaker and businessman IBD Dende for the money.

According to him, the Ogun West senator directed the payment to be made in recognition of his involvement in the party’s campaign activities ahead of the 2027 general elections.
”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,” Portable said.
He went on to explain that he had earlier been informed that the senator was looking for him, but initially suspected that the information was another attempt to deceive him.
He further noted that he had previously received promises of financial rewards for participating in campaign activities, but did not get the money.
Expressing excitement over the alleged payment, Portable prayed for Yayi and Dende, describing N100 million as a significant amount.
