Contrary to widespread media report that popular Nigerian singer Olubankole Wellington, aka Banky W won the Peoples Democratic Party PDP ticket to represent Eti-Osa Federal Constituency of Lagos State, it now appears he lost the ticket going by the final result published submitted at the party secretariat.
Days ago, a video emerged online showing the counting of votes during the PDP primary with Banky W emerging as the winner.
Nigerians took to the social media to celebrate the win, with most comparing Banky W with Nollywood actor Desmond Elliot who presently occupies a seat at the Lagos State House of Assembly.
However, a result slip has now surfaced online, purportedly submitted at the PDP National Secretariat Wadata House showing Banky W’s opponent, Sam Aiboni as winner
Activist and Convener of Concerned Nigerians, Deji Adeyanju Thursday took to Twitter to lambast the PDP for the action.
Deji who tweeted, “PDP is cursed. Banky W didn’t get the ticket according to their latest evil scheme, all they care about is dollars…Kai, I’m sincerely tired of this country. We are in serious mess. The generation of our children are in trouble.”
However, as at the time of this report, neither the PDP nor Banky W has confirmed the development.
