Portable Declines August Protest And Claims It’s for the Poor
Nigerian singer Portable has made headlines with his recent comments about the upcoming nationwide protest scheduled from August 1 to August 10, 2024.
Dubbed #EndBadGovernance, this protest aims to address and challenge issues of poor governance in Nigeria.
Portable, known for his controversial statements, has expressed his view that such protests are primarily for those who are economically disadvantaged.
In a recent viral video, Portable reflected on his past involvement in the 2020 #EndSARS protests, stating that his participation at the time was influenced by his financial struggles.
He suggested that his current perspective is shaped by his improved financial situation.
Portable argued that wealthy individuals, like billionaires Aliko Dangote and Femi Otedola, typically do not engage in protests, implying that his current stance aligns more with that of affluent individuals.
He contrasted his past and present viewpoints, noting that those with significant wealth, such as Dangote and Otedola, do not typically take part in such demonstrations.
Portable emphasized that his previous participation was driven by his economic status at the time, and now that he has achieved financial stability, he believes his thinking has evolved to align with that of wealthier individuals.
The artist also pointed out that other prominent figures, like Dele Momodu, also refrain from participating in protests, suggesting that people in his current economic bracket would generally avoid such activities.
Portable, who gained prominence with his hit single ‘Zazoo Zeh’ in 2021, has declared that he will not be joining the upcoming protest due to his current financial comfort.
