The street-pop singer made the claim in a video circulating on social media on Friday, in which he was seen wearing an APC-branded shirt and a cap bearing the name of Senator Solomon Adeola, popularly known as Yayi. He also displayed campaign materials featuring the politician.
Portable alleged that he woke up to find N100 million credited to his bank account, claiming that the money was sent on Adeola’s instructions in recognition of his campaign activities.
In the video, the singer expressed excitement over the alleged payment and thanked the politician and another individual, identified as IBD Dende.
“My dearest fans! I just woke up to an alert of N100 million from Yayi! IBD Dende, oga mi! God bless you. Thank you! Yayi instructed them to send me the money,” he said.
Portable further recounted how he had initially been sceptical after some associates told him that Adeola was looking for him, recalling an earlier occasion when he allegedly received no money despite similar assurances.
He also expressed gratitude to God and the politician, describing the alleged N100 million payment as substantial.
The latest claim comes weeks after the singer publicly acknowledged receiving money for participating in APC campaign activities in support of President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In October, Portable appealed to President Tinubu and his son, Seyi Tinubu, for additional payment after performing at an APC rally at the Onikan Stadium in Lagos on 13 October.
In a video recorded after the rally, the singer was seen lying on the stadium floor, complaining about the physical demands of entertaining supporters and calling for an opportunity to meet the President and his son.
“I want to see President Tinubu and Seyi Tinubu; they have almost squeezed me to death. I have fainted; it is President Tinubu that is winning. Did we not collect money? President Tinubu, pay me more money; I am feeling so much heat,” he said.
Although Portable acknowledged receiving payment for his participation in the rally, he maintained that his efforts deserved additional compensation.
In another video that circulated earlier in October, the singer said the money he received from campaign activities had improved his financial situation following a period of financial difficulties.
However, Portable’s claim of receiving N100 million has not been independently verified. Details surrounding the alleged payment, including its source and purpose, also remain unclear.
