Popular Music Star, Bankole Wellington alias Banky W has joined the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP after dumping his former party, the Modern Democratic Party, MDP.
The music artiste is set to contest for House of Representatives seat in the 2023 general election.
He contested for the same position in 2019 but lost. Speaking on his ambition on Friday, Bankole stated;
“I would like to announce that I will once again be answering the call to serve by attempting to secure a ticket to represent Eti-Osa Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),”
“Some may not understand or agree with my decision to run, or my choice of platform. But I’ve learnt that we must engage with Nigeria where it is, not where we hope that it should be,”.
“I know this is April Fool’s Day, but this is not a joke. We must engage with Nigeria where it is, not where we prefer for it to be. We must no longer be content to shout from the sidelines. We must get into the system to fix it.”
“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 about our problems is over. It’s time to #TalkAndDo. I hope and pray that I can count on you. We move.”
