“E go do pass the money dem pay am” – Reactions as Singer Portable strips to his boxers as he campaigns for APC
The photo has sparked outrage from Nigerians since it found its way to the internet. Many social media users averred that Portable’s conduct in front of Awolowo’s statue was disrespectful to the legacy of the statesman.
Meanwhile, recall that Portable earlier revealed that he was paid to support the ruling party. In light of this, some tweeps joked that the singer had to be extra to give APC value for their money.
Reacting, a Twitter user wrote, “I’m not even Yoruba & I’m deeply offended by that crass display of disrespect and disregard for such a highly regarded Yoruba leader. Just look at this rubbish.”

Ordinarily that picture of Portable with his butt in the face of Awolowo's statue and someone carrying the APC flag behind him should be enough to make Oyetola lose the Osun elections on Saturday.
But these are not ordinary times.

The way APC has ridiculed the Awolowo name, brand, legacy, and style of leadership is not enough they had to move a step with the desecration of his statue. Portable say make Awo see madness. Voting for Apc is tantamount to madness, tuition hike,
