According to reports, Portable fainted after experiencing overcrowding and intense heat at the event.
Despite acknowledging that he had already received payment for attending the rally, the singer insisted that the physical stress he endured deserved additional compensation.
He appealed directly to the president and his son, saying the crowd had nearly crushed him and that he wanted to see them before leaving.
He said, “I want to see Tinubu and Seyi Tinubu; they have almost squeezed me to death. I have fainted; it is Tinubu that is winning. Did we not collect money? Tinubu, pay me more money; I am feeling so much heat.”
