PDP Rerun: Jubilation as Banky W Wins Eti-Osa House of Reps Ticket

Jubilation have trailed the emergence of Nigerian singer cum politician, Mr Olubankole Wellington after he won the Peoples Democratic Party’s ticket for Eti-Osa Federal Constituency, Lagos State.

Recall the first primary held last month was cancelled and rescheduled for Monday, 6th June.

The cancellation arose following a dispute between Aiboni and Wellington which the party leadership in Abuja intervened and fixed a rerun.

At the first primary, Mr Wellington won with 27 votes 27 against his rival, Sam Aiboni.

This time, Mr Wellington scored 24 votes from the 29 accredited votes to clinch the ticket while his rival scored five votes.

Banky W is now the official WINNER for the Second time

Meanwhile, Nigerians on Twitter have expressed faith and belief that social media can be used to curtail political manipulation.

Banky W's rerun victory signifies that social media can be a strong tool when used against political manipulation. It's a good thing that he actually got his ticket. Congratulations are in order for Mr. Capable.

Social Media is a great tool for all sectors if used well.

If not for the video evidence and the outcries, they would have run Banky W street and nothing would happen.

To think these bastards are back campaigning on the same Twitter that they banned.

Banky W wining the PDP rerun shows the strong effect of social media to politicking & electioneering.

Politics will take a new form & dimension come 2023. I love how passionate the Nigerian youths are towards election now & I pray that #BBNaija doesn't thwart it in a few days.
