PDP Primaries: Banky W's Camp Speaks Following Controversial Defeat

Banky W's camp has spoken after the recent controversy trailing the singer and politician at the PDP primaries in Lagos State.

Fans of the celebrity were shocked when news emerged on Thursday that he lost in the PDP primary election to represent Eti-Osa federal constituency in Lagos State when a video surfaced earlier showing that he won earlier.

Speaking with SaharaReporters, Banky's aide said the election sheet was allegedly manipulated by Aiboni Sam, his opponent in the primary election.

"Hello, please this result is false. We have spoken to almost all the leaders in the PDP. They are all working on it and have asked Banky to remain calm and allow them to sort it out.

"It appears that Sam allegedly was able to manoeuvre to get a result sheet in his favour, for an election that Banky Wellington won, which was witnessed by everyone.

"In attendance were officials from the INEC, DSS, former Deputy Governor of Lagos Mama Bucknor, National Delegate Captain Shelle, LGA Chairman Yusuf Arubiewe, the LGA Secretariat and the entire principal and Adhoc Delegates from all of our wards.

"In the meantime, we must get every single PDP member and delegate in Eti-Osa and Lagos state to speak up for the truth and for justice and for the mandate that is trying to be stolen from them. This must not stand. 

"This is the day of reckoning for the National and state leadership. Gone are the days when someone can ignore the will and desires of the people to impose a candidate on them. It is unfair and wicked.

"The people of Eti-Osa must speak up now, everywhere. Online on social media, on every WhatsApp forum, and on every possible phone call.

"The leadership of the PDP must hearken to the voice of the people. It is our mandate and no one can steal it from us. SPEAK UP EVERYONE.

"STAND UP EVERYWHERE. PUSH BACK. WE WILL WIN IF WE FIGHT THIS TOGETHER", a statement from the singer's camp reads.
