Controversial street-hop artiste Portable has thrown his weight behind President Bola Tinubu, calling on Nigerians to support his re-election bid in 2027.
In a video circulating online, the singer linked the country’s peace and stability to Tinubu’s return to office, urging citizens to back the president if they want to avoid conflict.
“Nigeria my country, we need peace, we want peace. If you do not want war in Nigeria, vote Tinubu. I do not want problem. If you do not want US-Iran type of war, follow Tinubu. I am telling you the world is wicked,” he said.
Portable also made remarks suggesting that power should remain with the Yoruba for another term, warning against any deviation from that stance.
“It is Yoruba turn for second term oh. Woe betide a Yoruba indigene that doesn’t vote for Tinubu,” he said.
The singer disclosed that he is already involved in mobilisation efforts, revealing that he has joined a support group working in favour of the president’s second-term ambition.
