50 Million or Nothing — Portable reportedly demands ₦50m from Lege Miami to support Tinubu’s 2027 campaign
Nigerian singer Portable (Habeeb Okikiola) has sparked controversy by allegedly demanding ₦50 million from Nollywood actor/influencer Lege Miami in exchange for supporting President Tinubu’s 2027 re‑election campaign. This revelation comes shortly after Lege Miami insisted he was promoting Tinubu “without collecting a dime.”
🔍 What’s going on?
A video shared online reportedly captures Portable on a call with Lege Miami, during which he demands ₦50 million to “promote Tinubu’s 2027 campaign.”
Lege Miami had earlier released his own clip asserting that he was advocating for Tinubu unpaid—creating a clear contradiction.
🌐 Public reaction:
Netizens flooded social media with sharp commentary. For instance:
“and e ready do am, e no get shame.”
“At least he is collecting money while he’s doing it.”
“One of the reasons why this country can never get better.”
Many are criticizing this kind of transactional celebrity endorsement, arguing it feeds public cynicism about political influence.
💡 Bottom line:
The ₦50 million demand—if genuine—conflicts sharply with Lege Miami’s prior claim of unpaid support.
The episode has fueled broad skepticism around celebrity-led political endorsements and the monetization of influence in Nigerian politics.
