Singer and House of Reps aspirant, Banky W and wife are waging war on Twitter on a certain Miriam Shehu who accused the couple of collecting bride to campaign for Buhari.
It all started when the Twitter user fired at Banky W for pretending to be non-partisan and accused him and his wife of collecting N57 million to campaign for President Buhari. She claimed that the couple travelled to Abuja sometime in December to sign the alleged contract.
According to her, Banky converted his music label to a PR firm and got a contract from one Abubakar Ahmed to promote Buhari for the up-coming elections. She questioned the singer why he has failed to do his work despite being paid handsomely for it.
Miriam went further to state that she has a photo of the couple boarding the flight in which they flew business class, paid for by the facilitator of the alleged contract.

I have a picture of you and your wife traveling to Abuja via Arik Air in December where the contract was signed. Your client paid for the Business class that you and Adesuwa traveled with that day. The trip was on a Sunday morning. I dare you to deny this.

Mr. Wellington, come out and support Buhari with your chest. You can’t be doing this non-partisan shit forever.
Your EME Company you converted to PR firm got a contract of N57m through one Abubakar Ahmed to promote Buhari. Why have you not been doing your work?
A furious Banky immediately responded to the allegations and denied ever signing such a contract. He boldly stated that he has never collected any money to do anything for the president and all Miriam said and lies and all libelous claims to defame his good name.

FALSE. 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 noone cares for the truth. (1)

Banky also threatened that the matter will be tendered in the court of law and if the accuser refuses to show evidence to back up the claims, they will be going to jail for trying to spoil his name.

I've called my lawyers, and sent screenshots of the latest lies and slander used against me. I hope the people who posted them are prepared to provide PROOF in court. Shey you have dragged my name in the mud again, you MUST provide proof of your accusations or you will go to jail

I can't spend time engaging in a Twitter war with people who clearly don't care about facts and truth, and prefer to push slander and lies because it makes for juicy news, regardless of who they need to drag in the dirt. (2)
Banky's wife, Adesua refused to keep mum. She, who was also accused with her husband responded in a series of tweet, also denying the grave allegation.
She stated that herself and her hubby were in Abuja in December for and event with EU and did not sign any such contract as claimed by Miriam.

Miriam, I don't know u and I will never understand why you have tweeted this lie. My husband and I went to Abuja in December for the 16 days of Activism against gender based violence. A final event was put together by the EU and as influencers, we were invited to attend. (Thread)

My husband has never collected a dime to support Buhari. There is nothing to substantiate what you have written and I'm racking my brain about why you would write this. I'm saddened too. More because it is a huge lie but life has taught me that time reveals ALL THINGS.

We weren't the only influencers in attendance. See picture below. With date stamp...clearly showing us at the event. A good name is important to me, has always been and that is why you will NEVER find anything that supports a story about me collecting money from ANYONE.

Lastly, Nigeria will be great. She will thrive and she will rise above all the lies, the corruption, the turmoil. We WILL NOT BE SILENCED FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU who spew lies. We will not back down. We will not retreat and THE TRUTH WILL PREVAIL. Our names and hearts are clean.

If a picture of a husband and his wife on a flight to Abuja is all it takes for someone to write something so untruthful and have people believe it, then we are in serious trouble. No-one is safe. Surely you must have substantial proof. PLEASE provide it. I'm not scared.

@AdesuaEtomiW
For those telling me to be quiet. PLEASE free my soul. I hardly ever respond to lies and the filth that I see every single day but I WILL NOT allow my name to be dragged through the mud. I'm not a chicken, nor am I a coward. I can be quiet but I am NO IDIOT.

There is definitely fire on the mountain.
Meanwhile, a proud Adesua has thrown her weight in support of her husband who is gunning for a position in the House of Representatives. Recently, she revealed that Nigerians do not know her husband as she does and she believs that the country deserves someone like him.
