Olubankole Wellington, better known as Banky W, contesting the Eti-Osa Federal Constituency seat, says he will patiently wait for Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) primary election.

In an interview reacting to the delay in the voting process, Banky W said he believed that the delay was to enable the party to get everything right.

“I think that is the reason for the delay; if it takes some more time, there is no problem.

“As long as it takes, we will be here, we shall stay here till the process is completed,” he said.

The aspirant and singer urged contestants for PDP tickets to accept the delegates’ will.

He expressed optimism that the election would be held peacefully and orderly.

“We will all align with whoever has the ticket,” he said.

“You need two things to win: the grace of God and the will of the people.

“I am very optimistic that I have both, and at the end of the day, that will be clear for everyone to see, and we can move forward together,” he said.

Commenting, Egunjobi Segun, contesting Eti-Osa 1 Constituency in Lagos State House of Assembly, said that the delay was unfortunate.

He expressed the hope of winning the election but said that the people’s will would prevail.

Ademola Oyede, also contesting for Eti-Osa Constituency 1, said that the logistics involved in mobilising electoral officers and others contributed to the delay in starting the primary election.

“We also have to consider Lagos traffic; also, yesterday, there was a downpour in the state.

“Whenever we start the process, we are confident that chosen contestants will reflect the will of the people,” Mr Oyede said.
