There are rumours that Banky W lost Lagos PDP Primaries and this led to him being slammed on Twitter.

A popular music artist, Mr Olubankole Wellington, popularly known as BankyW, has faced backlash after losing his bid to contest for the House of Representatives seat to represent Eti Osa in Lagos State.

Mr Wellington lost Saturday’s Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, primaries, as 85 people contested for the 24 House of Representatives seats for Lagos State.

Trolling Mr Wellington on Twitter, some users advised the music icon to leave politics and face his art.

A user, @ @MidasTouch_me, said “I hope Banky W will now face his music career rigorously. I bet politics is not his calling. He was beaten blue and black like Aso oke. Politics is not child’s play.”

Another user @doratalker said: “I am sure the guy that beat Banky W blue and black isn’t on this twitter…… Y’all think the twitter is the vote, especially my Peter Obi people y’all better pull up.”

Another user also said: “It’s obvious that PDP is after money bag people like Banky W is a sure winning ticket for PDP in the general election. They keep choosing unpopular candidates.”

Defending Mr wellington, a user @wilzokeke said: “Why exactly are people mocking Banky W? We said we want more youths in politics, a youth came and tried his best and lost and the best we can do is mock him? Truly we deserve every single bad leader we have as a country.”

Another user @didabliz said: “Y’all way too s***** and narrow-minded for mocking Banky W! He did and is doing what millions of you could never dare to imagine or try. Keypad clowns with dense brains Y’all deserve Buhari and Tinubu a million times over!”

Encouraging him, another user @chi-mbah1 said: “Banky W! Please, don’t give up. Buhari tried severally b4 he became the president of Naija. You didn’t win today doesn’t mean you will not win tomorrow. Keep your head high”.

But here is the true position of things:

Banky W reacts as controversies trail Lagos PDP’s assembly, reps primaries

Banky W, the Nigerian musician-turned-politician, has reacted to the controversies trailing the Peoples Democratic (PDP) primary election in Lagos state.

The musician is vying to secure PDP’s ticket to represent Eti-Osa federal constituency at the house of representatives.

The main opposition party had scheduled its house of assembly and house of representatives primaries in Lagos to hold on Sunday.

It is understood that 140 aspirants are contesting for PDP tickets for the 40 seats in the Lagos house of assembly while 85 people are vying for 24 house reps seats for the state.

But the exercise was marred by delays and protests with some people demanding that it should be cancelled.

NAN reports that uncertainty and apprehension trailed the conduct of the primaries as delegates and aspirants waited at various venues in local government areas for election officers from PDP national headquarters for hours.

Reacting, Banky W expressed confidence that the development would not disrupt the election.

The ‘Strong Thing’ crooner said the delay was to enable the party to get everything right.

“I think that is the reason for the delay; if it takes some more time, there is no problem. As long as it takes, we will be here, we shall stay here till the process is completed,” he said.

He also urged those contesting for the PDP’s tickets to accept the will of the delegates.

“We will all align with whoever has the ticket. You need two things to win: the grace of God and the will of the people,” he added.

“I am very optimistic that I have both, and at the end of the day, that will be clear for everyone to see, and we can move forward together.”

The state chapter of the party had urged the PDP’s national working committee (NWC) to cancel the exercise, citing alleged irregularities in ad-hoc delegates’ list.

At a briefing in Ikeja, Philips Aivoji, Lagos PDP chairman, alleged that the ad-hoc delegates’ list brought by the electoral committees for both primaries had been compromised.

He also claimed that what the electoral committee intends to do is to “cook up” a list of candidates at a venue.


“The entire executive committee of Lagos State PDP and five of the six gubernatorial aspirants reject in its entirety, the ad-hoc delegates’ list brought by the electoral committee to Lagos State for the purpose of conducting the primaries,” he said.

“We are all shocked to see that the list does not reflect the authentic elected ad-hoc delegates as conducted by organs of the party at ward level and supervised by the DSS and INEC.

“It is imperative to state that copies of the ad-hoc list that emanated from the state and submitted to INEC are completely different from the one brought by the committee for the purpose of the exercise.

“We realised that contrary to the provision of our great party and the electoral guidelines of the party, the election committee came to the state with list of venues and already chosen electoral officers.”

Take heart Banky. You can bank on the winner to help move the party forward.

Twitter politicians who think Twitter noise can give them victory at party primaries. Peter Obi Pandora is the next to cry. The way he will lose the primary election would be so disgraceful.

How does capacity to deliver affect banky? Abi u just feel like typing.

simps like Banky W should have no place in politics.

I guess that's what he does best.
