Adediran said, “I met with the Christian Association of Nigeria executives in Lagos. I was accompanied by Bankole Wellington, our PDP House of Reps candidate for Eti-Osa Federal Constituency. Banky W as he is fondly known in entertainment circles, is a much loved leader in the Christian community in Lagos, and his nomination is seen as a shift in the right direction.
“We went to discuss our plans for the future of Lagos and share with the representatives our vision for the future of our great state as it regards the protection of religious freedoms.
