This will be his second attempt at winning a ticket to contest as member of the green chamber.

In the 2019 elections, Wellington contested the House of Representatives seat under the Modern Democratic Party (MDP), but lost to Ibrahim Obanikoro of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a video that has now gone viral, the votes of the primaries were counted and closely monitored by the delegates and members of the party.
As gathered from sources , the aide of the singer, Kennedy Salami, stated that Banky W had a landslide victory.

He tweeted, “We must engage with Nigeria where it is, not where we prefer for it to be. In 2019, we planted the seed. In 2023, by the grace of God, and with your support, we will win the seat. The time for just talking is over. It’s time to #TalkAndDo. I hope I can count on you. We move.”
