Music producer Bankole Wellington, popularly known as Banky W, has won the ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to contest for the House of Representatives, Eti-Osa Federal Constituency seat in the 2023 elections.
Mr Wellington’s twenty-eight votes put him on top of the list of other contenders from the opposition party that are jostling for the same ticket.
In the 2019 elections, Mr Wellington contested the House of Representatives seat under the Modern Democratic Party (MDP), but lost to Ibrahim Obanikoro of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
