Nigerian singer Portable recently shared his experience meeting Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi. Portable said he felt disappointed when Obi didn’t give him anything during their meeting, comparing it to what he thinks Bola Tinubu would have done. “If it was Tinubu, he would drop something. God bless Nigeria,” Portable said.
Fans reacted to his comments, with some defending Peter Obi for focusing on leadership, not gifts. Others agreed with Portable’s expectations. The event brought up a larger discussion about Nigerian politics, pop culture, and what people expect from their leaders.
During their meeting, Portable expected something from Obi, but when Obi didn’t give him anything, he felt let down. Portable’s remark about Tinubu reflects how some people believe politicians should offer gifts, especially to popular figures like him.
Peter Obi, however, is known for not participating in “money politics.” He has often spoken about wanting to make Nigeria better by being honest, accountable, and not giving in to material expectations.
