According to the traditional ruler, Portable has roots in the town as his mother is from Tigbo, and the singer also lived there.
The monarch added that even though many people have different opinions about the singer, he sees a different person in him (Portable).
Onitigbo described Portable as being respectful, so he decided to make him chief of his town.
The king also addressed the rumour that he was paid to make the Zazu crooner a chief, saying “he is someone God has blessed”. He added that the rumour wasn’t true.
