•Governor Abiodun and singer Portable
Ogun State Government has condemned in totality the level of rascality displayed by a controversial Hip-hop artiste, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable over his reckless behaviour towards the officials of the Ogun State Planning and Development Permit Authority (OGPDPA) at his bar located around Iyana Ilogbo, in Ota area of the state.
A statement signed by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Information and Strategy, Hon. Kayode Akinmade, described Portable as serial dissident and unrepentant rascal who has been in the habit of assaulting government officials without provocation.
Akinmade said the latest attack orchestrated by Portable and his cohorts against government officials who were on their lawful assignment in the area was unacceptable and barbaric, saying such an indecent act would be addressed in line with the extant law of the land.
He averred that the behaviour of the Hip-hop artiste is becoming disgraceful and unbearable to the people of the area and the government, considering the degree of pandemonium and panic he causes any time he carried out such unpleasant acts in the area.
Akinmade therefore, reiterated the stance of Governor Dapo Abiodun-led administration to sanitize the state against every unlawful act and entrench decency in all strata, saying the government is serious about the distinct values of Omoluabi ethos at all times.
He said, “We are profoundly taken aback by the unpleasant and uncivil act of the Hip-hop artiste, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly as Portable on Wednesday, in Iyana- Ilogbo area of the state where his bar is located.
“The way in which Portable and some set of miscreants he employed in the dastardly act attacked the officials of the OGPDPA is not only bizarre but a confirmation of erosion of Omoluabi ethos in those individuals and indeed a great disgrace to the state.
“Governor Dapo Abiodun totally condemned this primitive and indecent act and reiterated his avowed commitment to just and egalitarian society as he is ready to make any individual flouting the extant law of the land yo dace the full wrath of the law irrespective of social status and influence”.
