The singer added that it does not matter whether the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), or even Labour Party’s Peter Obi offers him support, his endorsement will go to whoever pays first.

“If it is APC that first brings the money they will own me. If PDP come first, I will also collect. Even if it is Peter Obi, I will ask you to vote for him. Vote for anyone who gives you money. Vote for your helper,” he declared.

Portable’s comments have sparked fresh controversy on social media, with many Nigerians criticising his open embrace of transactional politics.
This is not the first time the street-hop artist has waded into politics.

In 2024, he publicly called out President Bola Tinubu for failing to provide him with financial support despite backing him during the 2023 presidential elections.
