Controversial singer Portable has alleged that the All Progressives Congress (APC) engaged his services without compensation during the 2023 campaign for its presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.
In a now-viral Instagram live on Friday, Portable revealed why he boycotted the protest and expressed his displeasure with the President.b
He said: “I supported Tinubu but was not paid (referring to the 2023 presidential election campaign).
“We were the ones who supported him (Mr Tinubu) without receiving any money. Since then, I’ve been minding my own business. I did not interact with anyone, and no one interacted with me. They (APC and Mr Tinubu) used me, and I remained calm. Do not let them use you again.
“Truly, we are hungry; everywhere is scattered, but it doesn’t mean we should not be killing ourselves or burning out houses, claiming we are fighting the government.
“Let’s be calm because the government will not lose anything. Instead, we are losing. You (protesters) said we shouldn’t go out to work for ten days. What will I eat? There’ll be trouble; should I be at home and be making money online?”
The singer claimed that some musicians who performed at the inauguration never supported or showed interest in President Tinubu.
