Music sensation, Habeeb Okikiola, better known as Portable, says he will not partake in the planned nationwide protest over the current economic hardship in the country.
Daily Trust reports that some youths are planning a nationwide protest between August 1 and 15 against the rising cost of living and economic hardship in the country.
In a now-viral video, Portable, who said he was part of the protests in 2020, added that he was currently doing well and preferred to focus on achieving more success.
The singer urged his fans to concentrate on their personal endeavors rather than engaging in protests.
Speaking in a blend of Pidgin and Yoruba, he said: “My fans. Some said I protested in 2020. Yes, it is true, but I was poor at that time. Now, I am rich.
