Crooner Banky W has put his music career officially on hold by winning the Peoples Democratic Party Eti-Osa federal constituency primary rerun on Monday June 6, 2022.
He pulled 24 votes out of 29 to defeat his opponent, Sam Aiboni.
He dropped a long thank you speech the way Politicians do it.... Congrats to him!
''I want to thank the Leaders of the People’s Democratic Party, the PDP, for encouraging me to join the family, and empowering me to stand on our great platform.
I want to thank our party members and delegates for accepting me, for trusting me, and for giving me the go-ahead - in a landslide - to represent the great constituency of Eti-Osa, Lagos.
I want to thank my very formidable competitor Barrister Sam Aiboni – we are not opponents within the PDP; we are brothers on the same side, and I hope that our shared love for our community will build a bridge for us to be able work together for the progress and prosperity of our people.
I want to thank my family and friends, donors and volunteers, prayer warriors and well-wishers – words fail to describe how grateful I feel that you consider me worthy of your blessing, belief and support.
I also want to thank the love of my life, my wife, for holding my hand and standing by my side.
Most importantly, I want to thank the almighty God - for the gift of life, and purpose. I am nothing without His Grace.
Our journey is far from over, this was a great step one but our work has just begun.
The road ahead is long – I hope we recognize that this is not a sprint, it’s a marathon.
The terrain will be tough – I hope we realize that we are stronger together, and there is no obstacle or opposition that we cannot overcome.
I hope we remember that this is not about me – this is about all of us.
Our legislative agenda will be a collaboration between all of the stakeholders in our communities… fully focused on the needs we have in education, healthcare, gender equity, youth employment and economic empowerment – creating a more conducive environment that we can be proud to live in, raise our children, and grow our businesses.
EtiOsa is already arguably the most progressive & enlightened constituency.
But good enough is not good enough.
This is about all of us fighting for Eti-Osa to be better. It’s time for us to look in the mirror. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.
And we can do this, if we do it together. This is more than a campaign. This is a movement. Please join us.
#TalkAndDo #WeMove #BetterEtiOsa''
*Doesnt he need to face other opponents?
* #dontbelikedesmondoh
Congrats!!!
Congratulations to him. He has APC's Obanikoro's son to face. I don't know sha
ReplyDeleteAll the best Banky. But if you get there don't do like DE.
DeleteCongratulations to him...more grace and the spirit not to change after winning
DeletePlease stay updated, Obanikoro's son didn't make the cut for APC.
DeleteCongratulations Bankole 👏
ReplyDeleteThis is a win
Dont be like Desmond oo🥺
Now you have to face Oyekanmi Elegushi who has overthrown obanikoro.
Don’t trying to be a Debbie Downer but saying the truth. I love his attitude but unfortunately I don’t see him winning against his opponent the Elegushi or Obanikoro in Lagos. Not with money and fame
DeleteThis Attitude needs to Stop!!!!. There is power in NUMBERS ..You have already Sowed seeds of Doubt After this man took pains to present himself ..A lot of you saying this have not even bothered to get PVC ...There is an extent rigging cannot go if the numbers are overwhelming ..The spirit of lackadaisical has to leave Nigerians before we see change ..
DeleteCan you all stop with this "talk"....No faith whatsoever. Did the Obanikoro not start from somewhere. 20yrs ago who knew Obanikoro and Elegushi; if not for Tinubu their God father. They were not this rich. Banky or his family sef too arent nobodys in Lagos. With the right support and God anything is possible but this mindset has to stop that money and fame is everything.
DeleteThank you BnR.
DeleteI believe he'll do better than Desmond
ReplyDeleteCongrats. You have said it all stella, he should be different from desmond
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to him
ReplyDeleteCongrats Banky.
ReplyDeleteI still wouldn't advise anybody i care about to go into politics because it's a disgustingly dirty game.
I was so happy ehhhh...He won twice. E sweet me. They wanted to play yeye games for something we all watched the first time.
ReplyDeleteI pray he wins the main one coming ahead and I believe when he joins in he won't let the corrupt system change him like Desmond did.
Ps: The way he appreciates his wife is so sweet. Banky is so expressive and he uses every opportunity to sing her praise.
Congrats...... phase 2 loading
ReplyDeleteI believe he will do better but power has a way of turning good intentions to something else.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Banky W
Yes Stella he has other opponents to face. Pray he wins
ReplyDeleteSo he can put that silly Desmond to shame. I still can't get over that rubbish bridge he constructed.
Lol
Kai no Desmond messed up.
Desmond really messed up big time. I use to be his Nollywood fan, not anymore.
DeleteCongratulations to him.. I wish him the very best
ReplyDeleteCongrats to him. Banky I believe you can do better than that Desmond. I wish you luck.
ReplyDeleteI like the hashtag. Congratulations Banky, I pray he wins in the general election.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Daddy Zaiah.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, I just believe in this guy and his politics.
ReplyDeleteI hope he wins and I hope to God that he is deserving of that win.
Congratulations Banky
Congrats to him. I believe he will do a good job, Lord help him. I also love the way he appreciates his wife. Better man!
ReplyDeleteNothing like a man who is focused, godly and ambitious!! 💯
ReplyDeleteGod bless you Banky. I honestly wish you all the best in the murky waters of Nigerian politics. #ALiSpeaks
I wish him well.
DeleteI wish him well.
DeleteCongratulations
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Sir.
ReplyDeleteI pray that he win in the general election
ReplyDeleteCongratulations dear
ReplyDeleteAnother DE in the oven. Just wait and see how he would change 360
ReplyDeleteWhen they say we should serve God, we won’t hear. But serving God and listening to His instruction has given me courage to be more than what people thought I could be. Look at Banky? A true turn-around story. From musician life to politician. What God can’t do does not exist ooooh… You people should serve God and obey His instruction.
ReplyDeleteIf you have a call upon your life, things won’t move at a certain level until you devote your life to God. If you are built for greatness, doors won’t open until you submit to God’s will. Simple
