Singer and MDP candidate for the House of Reps , Bankole Wellington popularly known as Banky W, has been accused of collecting N57 million from President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration to promote his campaign.
The accusation was raised by a Twitter user, Shalom Miriam Shehu who replied to a comment made by Banky W in response to Buhari’s suspension of the former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen.
Miriam Shehu wrote, “Mr. Wellington, come out and support Buhari with your chest. You can’t be doing this non-partisan shit forever. Your EME Company you converted to PR firm got a contract of N57m through one Abubakar Ahmed to promote Buhari. Why have you not been doing your work?”

I have a picture of you and your wife traveling to Abuja via Arik Air in December where the contract was signed. Your client paid for the Business class that you and Adesuwa traveled with that day. The trip was on a Sunday morning. I dare you to deny this.
