Last night, Olubankole "Banky W" Wellington, a Nigerian Musician, Actor, Writer, and Director known for his advocacy and passion for voter education announced his intention to run for office during the debut convention of the Modern Democratic Party (MDP).
He announced his candidacy for a seat at the Federal House of Representatives to represent Eti-Osa in Lagos and as usual Nigerians have opinions about his move.

Banky W declared to run for House of Representatives representing Eti-Osa, Lagos State & some young people are already ridiculing his campaign. One said it's a joke. The only joke here is a person who hasn't done anything about the status quo criticising one who's trying to do so— World Publicist (@IsimaOdeh) November 10, 2018

Banky Double-U just declared his intention to run for public office in Nigeria. Does that mean he will renounce his US citizenship or can u be a dual citizen and run for public office in Nigeria cuz I’m not understanding.— A.M.B (@AMB_Noni) November 10, 2018
Remembering the role Banky played in bringing in Buhari is why i find it hard to take him serious when it comes to Politics.— Okeke Chukwuka (@RebelChuck) November 10, 2018
People prolly just not supporting Banky W's political ambition cos it looks like a retirement plan after music. The transition woulda been easy if he was ever vocal or spearheading any political movement before now. ?— Ferdinand (@Burmese_Tyga) November 10, 2018
