It was Chelsea’s match that they used to bury Buhari – Portable

‎Portable, has weighed in on the passing of former President Muhammadu Buhari, who died recently in London after a prolonged illness.

In a video collage shared online, the artiste alleged that the late president was responsible for the Lekki tollgate shootings during the EndSARS protests.

‎Fans have since continued to debate the singer’s statement, with some criticising him for his lack of decorum, while others supported him.

‎Controversial Nigerian singer, Habeeb Olalomi Badmus, popularly known as Portable, has joined the list of Nigerians and celebrities reacting to the passing of former President Muhammadu Buhari.

The late leader was confirmed dead in a London hospital following a prolonged illness, prompting a wave of tributes and reactions across the country. Among those who spoke out was Portable, who released a video collage in response to the news.

‎In the video, Portable claimed that the Lekki tollgate shooting of 2020 was ordered by President Buhari, not Bola Ahmed Tinubu , who many had previously accused.

‎He alleged that it was under Buhari’s directive that innocent Nigerians were shot during the EndSARS protests.‎

The singer went further to suggest that the former president would “die again in heaven,” while cautioning mourners to be wary, describing Buhari as a “co-leader” and “father” of the people .‎

Portable, in the same footage, demanded the return of alleged stolen funds, insisting that while Buhari had built mansions and estates, he failed to construct proper hospitals for citizens.

He lamented the state of Nigeria’s healthcare system and criticised the priorities of the late president.

‎He also remarked that Nigerians were largely unmoved by Buhari’s passing, noting that many chose instead to watch Chelsea’s football match on the night of his death.

“It was Chelsea’s match that they used to bury Buhari,” he said mockingly.
