Controversial street-hop singer, Habeeb Okikiola a.k.a Portable angrily breaks silence as he explains why he didn’t perform at Tinubu’s pre-inaguruation concert. It was earlier reported that the presidential-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu held a concert in commemoration of his forthcoming tenure as president of Nigeria.

It was gathered that over 40 artists had been contracted to perform at the event which held in M.K. Abiola Stadium in Abuja. The Zazoo crooner had been noticably absent among the list of performers and this had raised questions, especially since the singer had once campaigned for the APC. Reacting to these questions, Portable reminded inquirers that he had been the one who sang a campaign song for the politician.

He explained that the reason he didn’t perform was because artists were being paid 10 million naira for the performance but he was being offered five, which made him tear the contract sheet. Portable also lambasted artists who he says never supported Tinubu but are rushing to sing his praises now he’s about to be president. Watch him speak:
This was made known on Thursday 14th April by Mr Felix Morka, the APC’s National Publicity Secretary, during an appearance on the Politics Today program on Channels Television. Morka added that Tinubu is expected to resume his duties promptly upon his return from Europe. Tinubu’s Whereabouts Ahead of Inauguration “He [Tinubu] is probably in Europe. He’s fine. After the elections and all of the energy expended, he just decided to take a moment of rest. “Once he returns and he’s inaugurated on May 29, there will be no dulling. He’ll be saddled with the responsibility of running a country as massive and complex as Nigeria. “I know he’ll be back in the country very shortly.” He added, “It is working rest because even in his rest, he is also taking the time to reach out to heads of government and other levels of leadership of other countries that are vital to the agenda that he’s bringing in his new government. “So, he’s not sleeping in his bed; he’s also in meetings regularly with all kinds of people who are travelling from other countries to see him preparatory to his inauguration. So, it’s a working visit.” 
In her words: “Before the results of the presidential elections were declared, I came out to say that if Bola Tinubu won the election, I would renounce my citizenship in Nigeria and I have my reasons. When he won, people called me and said he would not do anything bad. But I am endangered by the current situation. I have been ostracised and humiliated in places where I should be honoured because of his not being at peace with me.
