That Nigerian music star cum politician, Bankole Wellington, popularly known as Banky W lost the Saturday, March 11th election to Labour Party (LP) candidate, Attah Thaddeus for the Lagos State Eti-Osa Federal Constituency seat.

However, speaking on the shocking defeat at the Thanksgiving Service in his church which he posted on his Instagram page, Banky W, said;
“For anyone who’s ever suffered through a loss, a disappointment or a situation where things just didn’t work out the way you hoped.. ‘Faith after a fall’ is for you, for me.”
“This was to be our Thanksgiving service. After the election is over and we come and we are celebrating, thanking God. And I was going to give a short charge to say see what the Lord has done.”
“And then, we use that to build up your faith and give God some praise. Then we finish the service and I go to Abuja to start looking for apartment and office space.”
“Your faith in God does not stop you from hurting, but it helps you heal, and it helps you deal.”
“God really did a glorious thing when he created you. Our mandate remains. Love God, Love people. Serve God, be of service to his people. We move. BOLDLY. Love you long time.”
