Olubankole Wellington, popularly known as Banky W, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Candidate for the Eti Osa Federal Constituency, Lagos, in the February 25th, 2023, House of Representatives Election  is positive that he would emerge victorious in the rerun election.

The Election Tribunal sitting in Ikeja, Lagos State, nullified the victory of Labour Party, LP, Candidate, Thaddeus Attah,  and   ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to conduct a supplementary election in 32 polling units of Eti-Osa within 90 days.

INEC was also ordered to withdraw the Certificate of Return issued to Attah and conduct elections in areas where the election failed to  hold on February 25.

Reacting to the Tribunal ruling, Banky W took to his X Handle, (formerly Twitter) and posted, “It is possible. Still.”

In the same vein, the All Progressives Congress, APC, candidate and former lawmaker, Ibrahim Obanikoro shared a copy of his campaign poster while soliciting votes.

He also took to his X Handle and wrote, “Re-elect Your Neighbour.”

A date for the rerun election as ordered by the Tribunal will soon be fixed by INEC.
