Portable made the appeal in a video circulating on social media after attending the political gathering held at Onikan Stadium on Tuesday, October 13, 2026.

The singer complained about the physical stress he experienced while campaigning and entertaining supporters at the event, calling on the president and his son to give him more money.

In the video, Portable appeared exhausted and sweaty as he asked to see the two men and spoke about the strain of his participation.

“I want to see Tinubu and Seyi Tinubu; they have almost squeezed me to death. I have fainted. Did we not collect money? Tinubu, pay me more money,” he said.

Portable was among the entertainers and personalities who attended the APC rally, which attracted politicians, party supporters and other public figures.

During the event, the singer was seen moving around the venue and engaging with the crowd as part of the entertainment activities.

Reports surrounding the gathering also claimed that he fainted due to exhaustion. However, the circumstances of the reported incident were not independently established in the source report.

His subsequent appeal for additional payment drew attention online, particularly because it followed his participation in a political campaign event.

In his remarks, Portable specifically mentioned President Tinubu and Seyi Tinubu, asking to meet them and requesting more money.

His statement suggested dissatisfaction with the amount he had received in relation to the physical effort he said he expended at the rally. However, the report did not disclose how much he was initially paid or whether any agreement had been reached regarding additional payment.

There was also no reported response from the president or his son to the singer’s appeal at the time of publication.

Portable is known for his outspoken public statements and energetic performances, which have frequently attracted attention on social media.

The Onikan Stadium gathering formed part of the APC’s political activities in Lagos and brought together party members, politicians and entertainers.

Portable’s appearance added an entertainment element to the event, but his post-rally complaint shifted attention to his experience and request for additional compensation.
