Portable goes spiritual, threatens Yorubas over Tinubu’s 2027 re-election

Controversial street-hop singer, Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, popularly known as Portable, has stirred the hornet’s nest once again by invoking spiritual curses on any Yoruba person who refuses to vote for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.

​The “Zazu” crooner, known for his unfiltered outbursts, took to a viral video broadcast on Sunday, March 22, to declare that he has officially been “contracted” by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to lead a grassroots campaign for the President

​In the video, which has already sparked heated reactions across social media, Portable did not hold back, suggesting that opposing Tinubu’s second term is synonymous with inviting “war” to the country.

​“We need peace, we want peace. If you don’t want war in Nigeria, you better vote for Tinubu,” the singer declared in his characteristic high-energy style.

​Going a step further, the singer invoked traditional deities, stating, “Thunder and Ogun will strike any Yoruba man who doesn’t vote for him

​Confirming his new role as a political influencer, Portable revealed that he has already received his official APC branding and is preparing to hit the streets with “stomach infrastructure.”

​“I have been signed, given APC clothes — don’t worry, I will soon start sharing rice and vegetable oil,” he bragged, hinting at a massive mobilization drive aimed at the grassroots

​Portable’s comments come at a time of heightened political tension as the 2027 race begins to take shape. While some fans view his antics as mere entertainment, others have criticized the singer for using spiritual threats to influence political choices.

​This is not the first time the singer has aligned himself with the ruling party, having previously been involved in campaign activities during the 2023 elections. However, his latest move to “spiritualize” the 2027 campaign marks a new level of aggression in his political commentary.
