Banky W speaks out after the Labour Party wins the Eti-Osa Representatives seat

In the recently completed election for the Lagos State Eti-Osa Federal Constituency, Bankole Wellington, better known by his stage as Banky W, lost to the Labour Party candidate.

Attah Thaddeus, a candidate for the Labour Party, defeated Banky W.

With 24,075 votes, Attah defeated Babajide Obanikoro of the All Progressives Congress, APC, who received 16,901 votes, and Banky W, who received 18,666 votes.

In response, Banky W said if everything had gone as planned, he would have travelled to Abuja to find a flat and an office space.

Speaking in his church, Banky W remarked that having trust in God does not guarantee your safety from harm.

“‘Faith after a fall’ is for you, for me, if you have ever experienced a loss, a letdown, or a circumstance where things simply didn’t turn out as you had anticipated.

Our Thanksgiving service was scheduled for this. After the election is finished, we arrive and are joyfully thanking God. See what the Lord has done, I was going to say in a brief charge.

“And then we use that to strengthen your faith and give God some thanks. After the service is over, we adjourn, and I travel to Abuja to begin looking for a flat and an office.

“Your faith in God does not stop you from hurting, but it helps you recover and it helps you deal,” he continued.
