Nigerian musician-turned-politician Bankole Wellington, known as Banky W, has made a significant return to academia following his recent political endeavors. After his defeat in the 2023 Nigerian general elections, Banky W is now focused on his educational pursuits.
Political Setback
Banky W ran as the candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the Eti-Osa Federal Constituency of Lagos State but lost to Thaddeus Attah, representing the Labour Party (LP). This political setback has prompted him to redirect his efforts toward personal development and education.
Academic Pursuit at Georgetown University
In an Instagram post, Banky W shared his decision to pursue a Master’s degree in Policy at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. He expressed the importance of prioritizing meaningful goals over prestigious titles, stating, “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.”
A Journey of Resilience
This new academic journey comes just two months after Banky W underwent his fourth cancer surgery, highlighting his resilience and determination to overcome challenges. In his post, he invited his followers to support him as he embarks on this new chapter, emphasizing that “the journey of faith continues.”
