Nigerians have reacted to the intention of singer Banky W to run for political office.
The singer had made the declaration yesterday at an event to vie for a position at the Federal
House of Representatives under the Eti Osa Constituency.
The singer is set to run on the platform of the Modern Democratic Party.
As expected, Nigerians on Twitter have reacted to this announcement with some commending
him while others have called him out for being a hypocrite and a Buharist.
"Banky W" shared a rare story about his family when he announced his candidacy for a seat at
the Federal House of Representatives.
According to him, “In1981, I was born to a father from Lagos, and a mother from Cross Rivers
both of whom struggled and were it not
for the Grace of God, had no business receiving
University educations abroad. My Dad was an orphan. My mother’s story was not much different.
She was born in Calabar, to a single mom, she was sent off to live with her relatives in Lagos"
However, Adesua Etomi his wife, has declared her unwavering support for her hubby, Banky W
who last night announced his candidacy for a seat at the Federal House of Representatives
under the 'Modern Democratic Party' (MDP).
'Nigeria deserves a man like my husband. Banky, It is an absolute honour to walk life with you, I
can;t wait for the world to know you like I do', she said at the event.

@Quincy; I think he is multi-talented. So, he can do many things at the same time. If he had joined APC, then he would have had more chances to win

This people tho I can't say much, someone just wakes up one morning and decide to be a politician or a member at the house of reps... Well there is a difference between a politician and a leader.... A leader tags his/her followers along I wonder the impact this people crying and fighting for political post have in the lives of people they don't even have followers to start with. They are just not inspiring to be leaders... No true leader like Mandela....
