Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Nigerian singer, Bankole Wellington, aka Banky W, has spoken on his loss to the candidate of Labour Party in the just concluded Lagos State Eti-Osa Federal Constituency election.<\/p>\n

Banky W lost to Labour Party\u2019s candidate, Attah Thaddeus.<\/p>\n

Attah won the election with 24,075 votes, beating Banky W with 18,666 votes, and Babajide Obanikoro of the All Progressives Congress, APC, with 16, 901 votes.<\/p>\n

Reacting on his Instagram page on Monday, Banky W said if things had gone according to plan, he would have travelled to get an apartment and office space in Abuja.<\/p>\n

Speaking in his church, Banky W said faith in God does not mean that you won\u2019t get hurt.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor anyone who\u2019s ever suffered through a loss, a disappointment or a situation where things just didn\u2019t work out the way you hoped.. \u2018Faith after a fall\u2019 is for you, for me.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was to be our Thanksgiving service. After the election is over and we come and we are celebrating, thanking God. And I was going to give a short charge to say see what the Lord has done.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then, we use that to build up your faith and give God some praise. Then we finish the service and I go to Abuja to start looking for apartment and office space.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour faith in God does not stop you from hurting, but it helps you heal, and it helps you deal,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
