Desmond Elliot is among the many Nollywood
stars and entertainers who have been revealing
their intention to join politics.
He declared his intention to represent Surulere
constituency in Lagos State House of Assembly
under APC. Desmond shocked a lot of Nigerians
and was mocked for it when he added “Olusola”
to his campaign name.
A few days ago, he released his campaign poster
and manifesto for his House of Assembly
ambition and here's what he has to say about
people not knowing he had Yoruba blood in his
veins.
Speaking with City People, Desmond said:
“I am from Lagos state. My father is from
Olowogbowo in Lagos Island but my mother
is from Delta state. I refer to myself as
being a Pan-African. People don’t believe I
am a Lagosian because I seldom act in
Yoruba movies. And I didn’t include the
Shola in my name. Then because my
surname is also English, many couldn’t
differentiate which made people confused
of where exactly I am from. I am very
detribalised. People of my constituency
know my story and know where I come
from. I have always used Shola in my
primary school days. I went to Air Force
Primary School in Plateau and later
attended St John’s College, both in Jos. I
proceeded to Lagos State University where
I studied Economics and graduated in 2003.
″
On his reasons for joining politics, Desmond
explained that joining politics for him is an
ambition he has been nursing for many years but
only joined since this is one of the appropriate
time to declare his intention. Hear him:
“Politics has been in me for many years but
I wanted a party which was progressive. My
choice of APC was because its stronger and
progressive. The party is one you can
identify with. This is also a good platform
and a good party. It has lots of programs
that cater for people’s welfare. It has so
much differentiated itself from all others.
This is one of the reasons why I decided to
join the party” he explained.
What is his agenda if he eventually emerges the
winner in the forth coming election?
Security and Housing for more people.
Welfare insurance, Housing for more
people, road usage, protection of
entertainers against abuse of creativity,
content right protection which is on ground
but not enforced. A lot more we can do to
make the state a cosmopolitan and mega
city”.
