Banky W declares intention to contest seat in House of Reps

Nigerian musician cum politician, Olubankole Wellington, also known as Banky W, has declared his intention to run again for a seat in the House of Representatives under the platform of People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

The music act, who was a member of Modern Democratic Party, has joined PDP ahead of his political ambition.

He disclosed this in a video, which was posted on his Twitter handle stating that in 2019, he planted a seed by contesting even though he didn’t win.

“We must engage with Nigeria where it is, not where we prefer for it to be.

“In 2019, we planted the seed. In 2023, by the grace of God, and with your support, we will win the seat. The time for just talking is over. It’s time to #talkAnddo. I hope I can count on you. We move.

“Tomorrow we declare. Then we move. DM @thebworg if you like to join us tomorrow. We need as many people as possible. We need you.

“We must engage with Nigeria where it is, not where we prefer for it to be. The time for just talking is over. It’s time to #TalkAndDo. Please join us.”
