Banky W mulls lawsuit against woman who claims he collected N57m to campaign for Buhari

Empire Mates Entertainment EME honcho Banky W is threatening to sue a woman who claimed on social media that he collected the lump sum of N57 million to campaign for president Muhammadu Buhari.

The woman identified as Miriam Shehu also claimed that Banky W failed to deliver on the project after collecting the money.

Denying the comments, Banky W took to Twitter refuting the claims levelled against him by the woman saying he has never collected a dime to do anything for president Buhari.

He wrote; “Completely false and untrue. I’ve never met this person, and never collected a dime to do anything for this President. I DARE YOU to show proof of the false stories you are peddling. Why would I be running on an independent party in my own constituency if that was my plan?

“Someone can tweet “Banky W has collected 57 million contract to do PR for Buhari” and get hundreds of retweets/believers in a few mins, without anyone actually bothering to ask for proof. It is COMPLETELY false, but no one cares for the truth.”

The allegation is coming weeks after the musician now turned politician started a fund seeking campaign for his bid to represent Eti-Osa at the federal house of representatives on the platform of the Modern Democratic Party (MDP).
