Self-styled ‘wahala’ musician has explained why he was not at the pre-inauguration concert in Abuja for President-Elect Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The event tagged: “Renewed Hope concert” which took place on Thursday at the MKO Abiola National Stadium was well-attended by celebrities from the entertainment industry.
Over 30 A-list musicians, including Timaya, Tony Tetuila, Pasuma, 9ice, KCee, Asake, Waje, Brymo, BNXN, Fireboy and Naira Marley, among many other top names in the music industry, were in attendance to thrill guests with pulsating performances in honour of the president-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his vice, Kashim Shettima ahead of their inauguration on May 29.
But Portable, who was conspicuously absent, alleged he was schemed out by organizers (middlemen in charge of inviting artists).
He claimed the ‘middlemen’ didn’t love Tinubu or voted for him, stating they were ‘ripping him’ off his dues after he endured insults campaigning for the former Lagos Governor.In a post via his Instagram page, the ‘Zazu’ crooner said in Pidgin English: “Hello, Nigerians, my people! Dem don rip me!! Na me dey shout upandan, ‘Akoi Tinubu’. Anytime I post Tinubu, dem go insult me, I still dey post am.
“I sing song for Tinubu, dem dey insult me. I sing, ‘Obi is a Boy’. President wa! Dem insult me as I drop the song, the song dey online.
“Dem no post you baba me. Mr Nigeria, uncle Tinubu, dem no post you! All those people na open eye dem dey use o! dem no post you.
“Na we fight for you. We fought for you in Lagos, everywhere and online. Baba, remember us! We know say you remember us, na middle man wan rip us. Dem say una pay 10 million! Na so una dey start o! Won tu ti be re o! (They have started).
