2019 Election: Banky W joins politics, emerges house of reps candidate - Mhiz Rebecca - 11-11-2018
Popular musician and actor, Olubankole Wellington
popularly known as Banky W has finally joined politics.
Banky W announced that he will be running for the position
of House of Representatives in the 2019 general election.
He made this known on Saturday night on his Instagram
page when he was declared the flagbearer of the Modern
Democratic Party (MDP) for Eti-Osa Federal House Of
Representatives.
On why he chose to contest, Banky W wrote; “They said we
don’t have the money to run.. we say our strength lies in our
numbers. They said we don’t have the structure, we say we
will attempt to build it. They said “what if you lose”? I say,
what if we win?
“You see, my entire life has been a story of just dreaming
dreams, praying about those dreams, setting goals, and
working until they come true. I can live with trying and
failing. I can not live with not trying.
“So while we may not have a godfather, we do have God.
And we have vision. And intellectual capacity. And
integrity. And the right intentions. And last but not least, a
whole lot of hope.
“At the end of the day, hope may be all we have, but I
believe that it is all we need. Thank you and God bless
Nigeria.”
