Banky W Wins PDP’s Ticket For Eti-Osa House Of Representatives AGAIN

Bankole Wellington, also known as Banky W, a Nigerian artist, has won the PDP primary rerun for the Eti-Osa seat House of Representatives ticket in the 2023 general election.

At the primary rerun held in Lagos on Monday, Banky W won by a landslide, gathering 24 votes out of 29 casts by delegates.

Banky W was opposed by Mr Sam Aiboni, a lawyer, who received five votes.

On his campaign’s Instagram page, a video showed attendees chanting victory songs and lifting him up in the air as the ballots were counted.

This comes two weeks after he was pronounced the election winner, while his competitor, Aiboni, was certified the winner on the result sheet.

Another election was then scheduled for today, Monday, June 6, following the issues that surrounded the earlier primary.

In response to his victory, Banky W expressed gratitude to the party for giving him the opportunity to represent it, as well as to the people.

He also appreciated his opponent, saying that it was a tough competition, but he didn’t regard him as an opponent, but rather as a brother on the same team.

He said, “I want to thank the party for taking its time to ensure we did this election again to make sure it was free and fair.

“I want to thank the leaders, the delegates, the party members, the presiding officer, INEC, the DSS and the police for being here to ensure this election is free and fair.

“I hope that after today, we will be working together to win Eti-Osa for our people.

“I believe that we can do so much better, Nigeria is in a heartbreaking place and we need people that have our interest and that of our nation and community at heart.

“I promise that given this mandate, I will be a servant by God’s grace and I will make the people of Eti-Osa, Lagos state and Nigeria proud.

“We did it again and by the grace of God, we will continue to win.”

Banky W’s campaign team also announced his victory saying, “While we are grateful for our success at the primaries, we are completely heartbroken at the state of our nation.

“We must play our part in fixing the Nation, and we must get into the system to help fix it. Our work begins now. Please join us.”
