The music executive cum politician, on Monday, May 23, emerged winner of the primary election of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, thus securing the ticket to contest for the Eti-Osa constituency in the House of Representatives in the 2023 General elections.
The 41-year-old singer who had tried to secure the ticket in 2019 but failed, won the election by a large margin and beat his opponent by over 25 votes.
Reacting to Banky’s win, Davido took to his Instastory to congratulate him and declared full support for his political aspirations.
He also urged people not to sit back and complain about the happenings in the country, but take a bold step into the political arena and make a change.
The 29-year-old singer wrote,
“Congrats @bankywellington Banky W!
You have my support! Don’t sit at home and complain, get up and make a change”
A while ago, Davido surprisingly revealed that he is not a single man.
Davido affirmed this during an exchange with his colleague and record label artiste, Peruzzi on Instagram recently.
Recall that Davido was engaged to Chioma, mother of his son, Ifeanyi, however, they fell apart and called off their engagement.
Since that time, the singer has not been romantically involved with any woman or has come out to say he’s seeing someone — that however changed when he recently revealed that he is not single.
