Controversial Nigerian singer Portable has slammed organizers of the #EndBadGovernance# protest, saying there is no reason for protesting in Nigeria.
Recall that several bodies are planning a nationwide protest between August 1 and 10, 2024 over economic hardship facing Nigerians.
On his Instagram story on Thursday, Portable argued that there is no reason to protest, claiming that people who intend to protest are jobless.
The singer, while warning that no one should ask him to perform during the protest, attributed the development to laziness.
“It won’t be well with anyone who tells me to perform during the protest. Don’t you have a producer too? You should also collect the mic and join the protest too.

“Please, I need money, I’m hustling. If you take your job seriously, you won’t join the protest. Don’t fight for Nigeria, fight for yourself.
“Nigeria is okay, you are the one who is not okay. There is money in some places, you are the one who did not hustle or not loyal to your helper.
“You are the one who doesn’t make connections. There are people who can help, there are jobs. You are the one who is not working. Fight for yourself,” Portable said.
As part of efforts to prevent breakdown of law and order ahead of the nationwide #EndBadGovernance# protest, President Bola Tinubu on Thursday held separate meetings with APC governors, traditional rulers from around the country, and Islamic clerics.
The meetings are believed to be part of efforts to prevent the breakdown of law and order as young Nigerians prepare for a nationwide protest.
The meeting with the APC governors was held first followed by the one with traditional rulers, which all held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, and the chairperson of the Nigeria Governors Forum, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara, also attended the meeting with the traditional rulers.
