Bankole Wellington, popularly called Banky W, may have lost the primary election of the Peoples Democratic Party in Eti-Osa federal constituency, Lagos state as against earlier reports.
Recall that Banky W had on Monday been declared as the winner of the PDP House of Representatives primary election in Eti-Osa after he garnered 28 votes to beat his closest opponent who scored three votes.
However, a viral result sheet of the PDP House of Representatives Primary in Eti-Osa shows that Banky W polled 7 votes and was defeated by Aiboni Sam who polled 23 votes.
The now viral result sheet was shared online by a Twitter user, @adeyanjudeji.
In a viral video on Monday night, the votes of the primaries were counted and closely monitored by the delegates and members of the party.
The PDP is yet to react to the news although there have been insinuations that this result is that of a faction of the party in the state.
Banky W first announced his decision to run for the House of Representatives seat back in November 2018.
In the 2019 elections, he contested the House of Representatives seat under the Modern Democratic Party (MDP) but lost to Ibrahim Obanikoro of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
