Controversial Nigerian singer, Portable, has stirred fresh debate online following his reaction to the death of former President Muhammadu Buhari, who passed away recently in London after a prolonged illness.

In a video collage circulating on social media, Portable alleged that Buhari was responsible for the October 2020 Lekki Toll Gate shootings during the #EndSARS protests, which led to national outrage and global attention.

“The man who said they should shoot people at the Lekki Toll Gate has died. Do good. Well, he should go and meet the people he sent to their early graves that time,” Portable said in the video.

The singer went further to suggest that Buhari had died long before the official announcement and accused authorities of hiding the truth. He ended his statement with a surprising twist: “Anyways, Up Chelsea.”

The comments have since sparked mixed reactions across social media platforms. While some fans slammed Portable for lacking respect and spreading conspiracy theories, others praised him for speaking what they called “hard truths” about the former president’s legacy.

Muhammadu Buhari, who served as Nigeria’s president from 2015 to 2023, died at the age of 82 while undergoing treatment in the UK. His death has reignited conversations about his time in office, especially his handling of the EndSARS protests and other national issues.

As tributes and criticisms continue to pour in, Portable’s remarks have added a controversial layer to public discourse surrounding the former leader’s passing.
