Actor and Singer, Banky Wellington is running for the Eti-Osa House of Representatives seat in Lagos again, this time as a member of the Peoples Democratic Party.
In 2019, he ran on the platform of the Modern Democratic Party, a little-known party founded in 2017.
However, in the election held on February 23, 2019, he lost to Babajide Obanikoro of the All Progressives Congress.
Banky’s party, along with 73 other minor parties, was de-registered by the Independent National Electoral Commission for poor electoral performance.
The artist is banking on the PDP to realise his dream to win the seat
“We must engage with Nigeria where it is, not where we prefer for it to be”, Banky said in a video shared on Twitter
“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”.
