Nigerian singer, Bankole Wellington also known as Banky W has emerged as the winner of the Peoples Democratic Party House of Representatives primary in Eti-Osa, OduNews reports.
OduNews had reported how the musician was declared the winner in the election but the result slip showed his challenger, Aiboni, as the winner.
Following the controversies that trailed the primary, another election was scheduled for today (Monday).
Banky W had a landslide victory in the reelection, polling 24 votes out of 29 votes cast by delegates at the primary rerun held in Lagos on Monday.
He contested against a legal practitioner, Mr Sam Aiboni, who polled five votes.
A video on his campaign Instagram page showed the counting of the votes, as attendees chanted victory songs and lifted him in the air.
Announcing his victory, Banky W’s campaign team said, “While we are grateful for our success at the primaries, we are completely heartbroken at the state of our nation.
“We must play our part in fixing the Nation, and we must get into the system to help fix it. Our work begins now. Please join us.”
