Bankole Wellington popularly known as Banky W made his first public speech after he was defeated by Labour Party’s Thaddeus Attah
In an Instagram post where he shared footage from his Thanksgiving service in church with the caption “For anyone who’s ever suffered a loss, a disappointment or a situation where things just didn’t work out how you hoped… Faith after a Fall is for you. For me. For all of us”
In the video that has since gone viral online, Banky W could be heard telling the auditorium “This was to be our thanksgiving service; after the election, we would come celebrating God, and I was just going to give a short charge to say see what the Lord has done, and we use that to build up your faith, and then we finish the service, and I go to Abuja to start looking for apartment and office space.”
Banky W would admit being hurt by the defeat but also consoled by his faith in God and hopeful he would be victorious somewhere in the future adding “And God said, is it only faith when you win, because the truth is your faith in God does not stop you from hurting, but it helps you heal, and it helps you deal. It’s not just about everything is rosy, and it’s a walk in the park.”
The singer/politician also added one’s faith helps one in navigating troubled waters “Your faith doesn’t help you avoid troubles, but it will help you transform it, it helps you process it, it helps you understand it, it helps you overcome it
Banky W is a well-known name in the Nigerian music industry as well as a global force in the music scene.
