Artiste and politician Olubankole Wellington, aka Banky W, revealed Thursday that he had a tumour surgery.

In a video on Instagram, the artiste said, “Sometimes, your faith in God will not prevent the storms from coming… but it will carry you through them. Faith won’t always stop you from hurting, but it will help you heal, and it will help you deal.” 

Banky W added, “Posting this testimony to encourage anyone out there who is going through a challenge. It might seem bigger than you, but greater is He that is in you than anything you will face in this world.” 

The artiste said he aimed to inspire those battling their difficulties, reminding them that their inner strength, fortified by faith, is more significant than any obstacle.

“Grateful for my wife, family, friends, and Pastors for their love, prayers, and support,” said Banky W.
