Musician-turned-politician Bankole Wellington, better known as Banky W, has resumed academic pursuits following his loss in the Nigerian general election of 2023.
Banky W, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for the Eti-Osa Federal Constituency in Lagos State, was defeated by Thaddeus Attah of the Labour Party (LP). Updating his followers on Instagram, Banky W revealed that he is now working towards a master’s degree in policy at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.
“Gave up being a CEO to become a student because sometimes you have to let go of what is impressive to gain what is important. I’m currently pursuing a Master’s in Policy at Georgetown University in Washington, DC. The journey of faith continues. Please wish me well,” he wrote.
This update follows just two months after Banky W underwent his fourth cancer surgery.
