Banky W, has lamented the failure of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to correctly spell his name.
He also said the electoral body did not correctly print his party logo on ballot papers.
The 38-year-old musician shared his grievances in a video posted on Instagram on Thursday.

VERY URGENT!!! It turns out that logo that will show for MDP on the Election day ballot papers is wrong. We have tried every possible option to see if the ballot papers can be reprinted, but that is unfortunately not possible. So we move on.
No sense crying over spilt milk. The good news is WE ARE ON THE BALLOT. You will see “Modern Democratic party” on the ballot with this new logo… so PLEASE help us repost the logo everywhere. We are also reprinting as much campaign material as we can. We will not be deterred by any obstacle. We will not be discouraged. We will focus on the finish line and forge ahead. No weakness. No regrets.

PS: My last name was also misspelled, but that’s a non issue because you won’t see candidate names on election day… just party names, acronyms, and logos. Please remember the Modern Democratic Party. God bless you.
