Olubankole Wellington, a.k.a. Banky W, has responded to the Election Petition Tribunal’s decision. Wellington is a famous Nigerian artist and a contender for the Eti-Osa Federal Constituency in Lagos State on the ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
As readers of Infostride News will remember, on Monday, the National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal in Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos, overturned the election of Labour Party candidate Thaddeus Atta as the lawful representative for Eti-Osa Federal Constituency.
In 33 polling units where elections did not take place within 90 days, the court declared the election inconclusive and ordered a supplemental election to be held by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
Banky W hailed the finding of the Tribunal and called it a miracle in his Wednesday interview on Channels Tv’s Politics Today.
That we get another chance to conclude the election is a miracle in and of itself, in my opinion.
As he put it, “I think it’s a testament to the power of perseverance, the power of faith, and the collective will of the people who want to participate in the rebuilding of this democracy.”
