Reactions As Peter Obi’s Money Problem With Portable Unfolds (Video)
A video circulating on social media shows popular Nigerian singer Portable meeting with Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, at an undisclosed location.
However, the encounter between Portable and Peter Obi has sparked controversy, particularly after the musician slammed Portable’s comments about the meeting.
In the video, Portable was seen engaging with Peter Obi and appeared to have expected some monetary handout, as is common with some political figures. However, Peter Obi, known for his frugal and responsible approach to spending, refused to give any money.
Visibly disappointed, Portable wasted no time in expressing his dissatisfaction, claiming that if it had been President Bola Tinubu, the outcome would have been different. He remarked, “If it were Tinubu, he would’ve dropped money.”
GWG.ng reports that the comment by Portable did not sit well with supporters of Peter Obi who took to the comment section to criticize the singer. Many of them accused Portable of being obsessed with money, with one user stating, “You’re part of Nigeria’s problem. Not everything is about money.”
The backlash shows the growing frustration with certain public figures who are perceived to prioritize personal gain over national interest. Peter Obi’s supporters praised him for maintaining his principles, while Portable’s comments have only fueled more debate about the expectations placed on politicians in Nigeria.
