Controversial Nigerian street-hop artist, Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, widely recognized by his stage name Portable, has issued a strong warning to Yoruba citizens, stating that anyone who refuses to vote for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the forthcoming 2027 general election may face spiritual repercussions. In a video currently circulating online, the Zazu crooner openly declared that Yoruba individuals who oppose the reelection of the current president could attract curses and traditional punishment. His statement has generated reactions across social media platforms, with many Nigerians debating the role of entertainers in political campaigns. While speaking in the broadcast, Portable insisted that maintaining peace in Nigeria depends on supporting the present administration. According to him, voting against President Tinubu could bring instability to the country, which he claimed must be avoided at all cost. He further revealed that he has been officially engaged to promote the president’s political ambition. The singer alleged that he has already been provided with campaign materials by the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), and will soon begin active campaigning across Yoruba communities. Portable stated in the video that the campaign activities would include public mobilization and distribution of food items to citizens as part of political outreach programs. He also mentioned that he would soon start moving from place to place to encourage people to support the president’s second-term ambition. According to his words: “We want peace in Nigeria, and we must protect that peace. Anyone who does not want conflict in this country should vote for Tinubu in the next election.Thunder and Ogun will deal with any Yoruba person who refuses. I have already been signed, they gave me APC clothes, and very soon I will begin sharing rice and vegetable oil.” The video has continued to spread online, drawing mixed reactions from supporters, critics, and political observers who believe that statements like this may increase tension ahead of the 2027 elections. Some commentators have also expressed concern about the use of traditional beliefs and threats in political discussions. Watch the video below. Video
