In a recent encounter in Benin, Edo State, singer Portable made headlines by expressing disappointment that former presidential candidate Peter Obi did not offer him any money. Portable stated, “Obi didn’t give us money. If it were President Tinubu, he would have given us something.” This remark has sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with many users questioning Portable's sense of entitlement.
The singer's comments have drawn criticism, with responses ranging from disbelief to ridicule. One user quipped, “Money for what exactly?” while another commented, “It’s the Agbero entitlement mentality.” Many social media users mocked Portable, emphasizing that he should not expect handouts from politicians.
Despite the backlash, some defended Portable, suggesting he was only expressing a common sentiment among those seeking support from influential figures. However, the majority consensus seemed to point toward disapproval of his expectations.
