Why Singer Portable is Gaining More Followers in His Otta Base
Despite his often controversial antics, more people are beginning to appreciate singer Portable in his hometown. The artist, whose real name is Habeeb Okikiola, is based in the Ilogbo/Osa-Osa area of Ado-Odo/Otta Local Government in Ogun State.
Newsheadline247 understands that Portable is engaging in numerous heartwarming gestures that are attracting more fans daily.
“He is doing a lot of positive things. He provides free meals for schoolchildren and often visits areas frequented by Okada riders (commercial motorcyclists), offering them financial support of up to N5,000 each. He also occasionally visits fuel stations where he pays for fuel purchased by motorists. His consistent acts of kindness are earning him more fans in the community,” insiders in Portable’s base were quoted as saying.
One of his most notable contributions is his involvement in road repairs, using graders to fix various sections. Residents noted that his image received a significant boost after he publicly criticized the state government for the poor condition of a long stretch of road in his area, especially after his car got stuck in a pothole. The administration of Governor Dapo Abiodun responded by rehabilitating a considerable section of that road.
Although the state government has yet to complete the remaining repairs after a year, the section they fixed significantly enhanced Portable’s profile. Sources indicate that the singer’s “unending acts of kindness”—who is also reportedly building his first house in the area—continue to attract more followers, despite his sometimes unflattering social media presence.
