In 2018, Nigerian actress Adesua Etomi-Wellington initially expressed concerns and reservations when her husband, Banky W, announced his intention to enter politics. However, in a recent interview with Hip TV, she revealed a shift in her perspective, stating that she has overcome her fears and now wholeheartedly supports his political ambitions. Adesua’s change of heart emphasizes the importance of prioritizing purpose over fear and serves as a powerful example of spousal support in the face of new challenges.
On November 11, 2018, Banky W publicly declared his aspirations to run for the Eti-Osa Federal Constituency seat. Adesua Etomi-Wellington openly admitted feeling worried and disturbed by her husband’s decision to enter the realm of politics. The uncertainties and challenges associated with politics are understandably daunting, and Adesua’s initial concerns were valid.
However, over time, Adesua’s perspective gradually transformed as she recognized the significance of fulfilling one’s purpose. She came to understand that while fear may exist, it should not hinder the pursuit of meaningful goals. In her own words during the interview, 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 purpose. So, he has my support 100 percent.”
This statement reflects the depth of Adesua’s support for her husband and demonstrates her willingness to stand by him despite her initial reservations. It exemplifies the strength and unity that can be found within a marital relationship when both partners prioritize each other’s dreams and ambitions.
Banky W recently contested the Eti-Osa Federal Constituency seat in the 2023 elections under the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). Unfortunately, he faced defeat, losing to Attah Thaddeus, a candidate from the Labour Party (LP). While the election outcome may have been disappointing, Adesua’s unwavering support throughout the campaign likely played a crucial role in providing Banky W with the strength to pursue his political aspirations.
