Nigerian singer, rapper, and songwriter, Habeeb Okikiola, widely known as Portable, has taken a swipe at the president of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu, attributing economic hardships to him. Portable announced a hike in the fee for his show from 2.5 million to 3.5 million in response to the escalating prices of commodities like fuel and Garri, which he blames on the president.
In a viral video, the singer expressed frustration, emphasizing the increasing cost of living. He squarely placed the blame on the president for the surge in fuel prices, leading people to act as if they are "high" due to the economic strain.
Portable justified his decision to increase the show fee by one million naira, citing the harsh economic reality in the country. The singer's move reflects the impact of rising prices on various sectors, prompting him to adjust his pricing accordingly.
As news of Portable's stance circulated, social media users shared diverse reactions. Some commended him for speaking out, while others questioned his previous support for Tinubu, highlighting the complexities of the political and economic landscape in Nigeria.
