Portable, the controversial singer, has flared up on yet
another public outburst over the situation of things in Nigeria.
In a video that surfaced online on Friday night, the
fast-rising musician ranted in the Yoruba language while cursing “anyone who
votes for the politicians who put Nigeria in this condition”.
Portable, who appeared to have filmed the footage at the
Abuja airport, lamented that his flight to Lagos was delayed and that the
excuse was no fuel to move the plane.
He also claimed he is being asked to refund payment made to
him for a show he was supposed to perform after the money had been spent.
“I’ve suffered. The
money I already spent. You should talk about paying another one. Are you
kidding? Is the fault not with Nigeria as a country? A whole Abuja? No fuel
inside the airplane. If you all are man enough, vote for the bad politicians,”
he said.
“They’ve conned your generation. You can’t con us the way
you conned our grandparents. It should be us enslaving you all. Imagine [them]
telling me to refund the money paid for the show.”
It is not exactly clear if the refund Portable speaks of is
for a stage performance not delivered.
It also remains to be seen if his rant is directed toward
his political engagements in Osun state.
Portable earlier endorsed Gboyega Oyetola, the governor of
Osun who lost his bid for a second term in the just conducted Osun state election.
He had flaunted wads of naira notes given to him by the
governor.
Photos also surfaced last Thursday showing Portable
performing at a road show campaign for Oyetola.
Portable’s outburst comes as the latest in a series of
controversies involving the singer.
He had previously called out Davido, the Afropop star, for
unfollowing him on social media.
