Eunice Oluwafunmilayo
Nigerian Disc Jockey Obinna Levi Ajuonuma, also known by his stage name DJ Obi, has knocked popular singer Banky W after he announced his political ambitions on Saturday.
In the 2023 general elections, Banky W is expected to run for the seat of Eti-Osa federal district in the House of Representatives, according to reports.
DJ Obi took to Instagram to criticize the singer’s decision, claiming that he hops between too many things at once.
In his word:
DJ Obi wrote, “anywhere breeze blow you dey there. Today pastor, tomorrow artist, next tomorrow politician. Next week deliverance ministry, next month new single on the way. ABEG! We need real politicians. This is not a popularity contest.

“@djobiajent I’m utterly disappointed in u obi. How pathetic. You have a right not to him, but making these br less allusions are honestly disheartening. Pity.”
