Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has lashed out at activist VeryDarkMan (VDM) over his recent comments attacking President Bola Tinubu during the mourning period for former President Muhammadu Buhari.
On Tuesday, July 15, 2025, VDM posted a viral video on Instagram, where he stated that many Nigerians would have preferred Tinubu to die instead of Buhari. He argued that the current administration under Tinubu has brought more suffering to the people than Buhari’s era, citing worsening economic hardship and rising insecurity.
VDM went further to say that if Tinubu had prioritized tackling insecurity, it could have been his lasting legacy, but claimed that Nigerians are now more fearful and frustrated than ever.
Portable, in response, condemned VDM’s remarks, accusing him of being disrespectful and using a national tragedy as a platform to stir division. The singer emphasized that it was not the time for political attacks and urged people to allow the late president to rest in peace.
