Bankole Wellington, better known by his stage name Banky W, revealed on Wednesday why he decided to enter politics despite being a successful musician and businessman.
He claimed he entered politics in order to change things beyond activism and added that this was the only way to alter broken systems.
The singer, who is running for the PDP’s House of Representatives nomination in the Eti-Osa Federal Constituency, claimed that the longer young people stay away from traditional politics, the more dysfunctional society will remain.
“We must engage with the system from where it is and fight for what we stand for and what we want to happen,” he said when he appeared on Arise TV’s The Morning Show.
He added that the real opponent in Nigeria is apathy and that the more Nigerians sit out from the political process in fear of the power of godfather, the despised old order will remain.
