Adesua Etomi, [/b]a renowned Nigerian actress, has openly shared her initial apprehension when her husband, Bankole Wellington, also known as Banky W, expressed his intention to enter politics.
In a recent interview with Hip TV, Adesua admitted to feeling immediate concern and fear upon hearing Banky's announcement.
However, she later made the decision to support him, understanding that purpose outweighs fear.
It can be recalled that on November 11, 2018, Banky announced his intention to run for the Eti-Osa Federal Constituency seat on the platform of the Modern Democratic Party.
In the 2023 elections, he contested for the same seat under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), but unfortunately, he lost to the Labour Party (LP) candidate, Attah Thaddeus.
Adesua expressed her initial worries and disturbances regarding Banky's political aspirations. However, she emphasized her belief in the significance of fulfilling one's purpose and reassured him of her unwavering support.
She said,
"When Banky said that he wanted to go into politics, I was a little bit worried and disturbed about it.
But I also believe that purpose is more important than fear. And I want to see him fulfill his purpose. So, he has my support 100 percent."
