Notable Nigerian singer, Olubankole Wellington, popularly known as Banky W, is soliciting for funds to run for political office in Lagos.
Banky W emerged the winner of the PDP House of Representatives primaries for the Eti-Osa federal constituency of Lagos State in June.
Banky W solicited public funding on his official social media handles on Monday afternoon while canvassing fans’ support in winning the seat in 2023.
He wrote: “If Impact is truly the goal, then we must no longer be content to shout from the sidelines; we must get into the system and fix it.”
Further aiding his request for public support, the singer highlighted that mainstream Nigerian politics is a complex and expensive venture.
