Banky W breaks silence, talks about his political loss
Nigerian singer Bankole Wellington, aka Banky W, recently lost the election for the Lagos State Eti-Osa Federal Constituency to the Labour Party candidate.
Attah Thaddeus of the Labour Party defeated Banky W in the election.
With 24,075 votes, Attah triumphed over Banky W (18,666) and Babajide Obanikoro of the All Progressives Congress (16,901) to win the election.
Banky W responded on his Instagram page on Monday, saying that if everything had gone as planned, he would have traveled to Abuja to find an apartment and an office space.
Banky W said during a sermon at his church that having faith in God does not guarantee your safety from harm.
“For anyone who’s ever suffered through a loss, a disappointment or a situation where things just didn’t work out the way you hoped.. ‘Faith after a fall’ is for you, for me.
“This was to be our Thanksgiving service. After the election is over and we come and we are celebrating, thanking God. And I was going to give a short charge to say see what the Lord has done.
“And then, we use that to build up your faith and give God some praise. Then we finish the service and I go to Abuja to start looking for apartment and office space.
“Your faith in God does not stop you from hurting, but it helps you heal, and it helps you deal,” he added.
