Olubankole Wellington popularly known as Banky W has accused opposition parties of destroying his campaign posters in the state.
Banky W who is vying to represent the Eti-Osa federal constituency in the house of representatives on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) shared a video of his posters being destroyed.
“Evidence of what our opponents are doing to oppress our efforts.. but no matter how they try to tear us down, we get back up and keep going,” he wrote.
Evidence of what our opponents are doing to oppress us… but no matter how many times they tear us down, we get back up and we keep going.
They should be ashamed. But it is well. Victory now loading.#BetaDeyCome #itispossiBle #WeMove

Banky W, while speaking in the footage, argued that his rivals can only try to bring him down but they will be “unsuccessful”.
“They can only try to bully and suppress us but it will not work. It is unfair, but it will be unsuccessful. Stand with us. Fight with us. Enough is enough,” he said.
“We have an election to win. Victory now loading.”
Reacting to Banky W’s allegations, Jubril Gawat, a media aide of the Lagos state governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, said the singer’s posters were not the only ones affected.
Addressing the issue further, Gawat shared a video in which “all the posters irrespective of the political parties were removed”.
