Olubankole Wellington, better known by his stage as Banky W, has secured the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ticket to run for the House of Representatives, Eti-Osa Federal Constituency seat in the 2023 elections.
His 28 votes put him ahead of the pack of opposition candidates vying for the same ticket.
This will be his second effort to win a ticket to run for Green Chamber member.
Wellington ran for the House of Representatives in 2019 as part of the Modern Democratic Party (MDP), but was defeated by Ibrahim Obanikoro of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The votes from the primaries were tabulated and closely scrutinised by the delegates and members of the party in a video that has since gone viral.
