Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, better known as Portable, has made an emotional appeal to President Tinubu over his drama with the Ogun State government.
Kemi Filani reported a week back that Portable had cried out as the government sealed his uncompleted building and hotel over illegal development without an approval permit and detained some of his customers and workers. He called on the government to look into it as he pointed out the irony at which he has been helping the government put lights on the streets and repair roads, yet they were shutting down his property.
In a video posted on his Instagram page, Portable, who has been left humbled, appealed to Tinubu to beg Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, on his behalf. He noted how he is a citizen of Ogun State, yet his state is mad at him for supporting Yayi.
“Emi Omo Ogun, they are angry at me because because I wore Yayi shirt. That I am promoting Yayi.
Dapo Abiodun, your time in the office wouldn’t spoil. After God na government. Zazuu I dey humble”.
His fans took to his comment section to poke fun at him.

One Harris Israel wrote, “Share your location, government ask you some questions”.
Following the incident, he said he had to protect his families and properties first as he canceled his show in London. Portable noted how if there was life, he would have the opportunity to perform in many countries.
During the weekend, Portable lamented over the maltreatment he is receiving in his state, Ogun State. The singer noted how he has done so much for his state, yet nobody appreciates him or values him.
