READ : 13 Things Banky W Said When He Announced He Was Running For Political Office
While some of the singer’s fans have affirmed that he raised their hopes by declaring his intention to run for political office, others are questioning his quest to delve into politics, especially as Nigeria has recorded over four decades of lies and deceits from the nation’s politicians.
Here’s how Nigerians on Social media reacted to the news:
Whether he wins or not, people like @BankyW running for public office is an extra push against the ceiling of mystery that makes it look like serving Nigeria isn’t for good people. Or that it’s the reserve of a certain class of people. He is on the ticket of @MDP_NG for the NASS pic.twitter.com/nLARntBL03

Banky W is in a win/win situation. He’s made a bold step and will encourage more youth to participate in Politics. If he wins, he gets to represent his people in NASS. If he doesn’t win, he gains important political experience. Criticising him is easy, taking such a step isn’t.

Pepperito is running for Senate – No problem.
Banky W is running for HoR – “What has he done?”
And we think the Buharis and Atikus are our problem? Issorait.

I like @BankyW . The young man can sing. But that’s not all I like about him. For a celebrity, his humility is awe inspiring. I witnessed it first hand. Sometime last year, I was flying from London to Washington aboard Virgin Atlantic.I was in the Premium Class(Business)Section.
