A while back, Banky W revealed how his wife, actress Adesua Etomi, reacted to his decision to venture into politics.
The 41-year-old singer shared this on his Instagram page while paying a touching tribute to his wife.
He said when he informed his wife about his ambition, she hated it because of how dirty and dangerous politics is in Nigeria.
In response to her reservation, Banky W stated that if all the good people leave politics to the wicked, it will remain a dirty game.
According to him, Adesua eventually agreed with his decision after much deliberation and prayer, and she has been a huge pillar of support since he began his political career.
