Adesua Etomi, wife of sensational hip-hop singer, Bankole Wellington has shared her thoughts on her husband’s decision to venture into politics despite being a successful singer.
The beautiful Nollywood Actress revealed that she was really worried initially when her husband told her about his political ambition.
The film star disclosed this in a recent interview with HipTV, saying she and her husband spoke about her concerns on several occasions.
She however added that the worries eventually died down the moment she realized that he is chasing a greater purpose.
“When Banky said he was going to go into politics, I was a little bit worried.
“I spoke about this many times before but I also believe that purpose is more important than fear.
“I want to see him prove his purpose, so he has my support 100 percent.” she said.
Adesua and Banky W got married in November 2017. The union is blessed with a son.
In 2019, the singer veered into politics. He vied to represent the Eti-Osa federal constituency at the house of representatives under the Modern Democratic Party (MDP).
At the time, he lost to Babajide Obanikoro, the candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC).
Refusing to back down, Banky W left the MDP for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
There, he contested and won the Eti-Osa federal constituency primary ticket of the party ahead of this month’s general election.
In June 2020, the politician opened up about how his marriage to Adesua endured difficult moments the year he went into politics.
He said the outcome of the election in 2019 “strained” his relationship, particularly after he and Adesua lost their first pregnancy — a set of twins.
