[color=#006600][/color] Desmond Elliot is a baby politician that knows nothing a bad politics or the reason he is at the assembly....a chance was given to him this morning at Uncle Jimi digest a popular radio program on Nigeria info to talk/defend himself after minutes of trying to get him on the phone he was finally reach and he was told to hold for a commercial break and he promised to hold on only for him to Japa and said he has many urgent things to attend to. Imagine if this guy become big politician what he will do.....

The guy fall my hand big time , that’s how they behave when they taste 👅 power.

People that called in on uncle jimi’s show were just so disappointed. 😔

Three terms, that is twelve years, the same people will criticize politicians both in real life and in their films but given an opportunity to change the scenario they perform worst even worst below the politicians they are criticizing.

It seems you don't know how theses ones discriminate against children's born to them by non-indigenous women. His mom is from cross river or akwa-ibom.
They did same to that Labour Party candidate

SW don't do Osu Caste hate system
Desmond Elliott has already proven his loyalty to SW so he has passed that hurdle.
Gov Adeleke of Osun has Abia mother and it is no problem what SW absolutely cannot stand or tolerate is disloyalty.

GRV the LP was using Tribal slurs he even put the picture of a Goat on it too that was his downfall

A decent politician would seek promotion and not remain stuck in one place. Desmond Elliot's position was threatened by Labour Party in 2023 before Femi Gbajabiamila rushed some projects and included him. I recall Desmond Elliot commissioned a 200k toilet for his constituency in Surulere that offended many people.

Representation is not a career, it is a commitment to look after the interests of those being represented. If the people say they do not want Desmond, let the party find someone the people accept and field him. Enough of rewarding docile representatives.

Nicely put.

oh please stop that.. I know his late Dad and sister.. The man is my father friend.. And also the leader of APC in Aguda ward, lived in idowu Randle off ayetoro Street Aguda surulere before he died.. So stop saying what you don't know online. Elliot family are Lagos Island people.

I appreciate your schooling of that creep.

Desmond Olusola Elliott's family is originally from Olowogbowo on Lagos Island. His biological mother hails from Illah (the iconic NTA veteran Frank Olize is from Illah as well) of in the Oshimili area of Delta North in Delta State.

A lot of people don't know that a significant number of Lagos Island indigenes were relocated from their family houses (due to the construction of the Outer Marina) and resettled in the newly developed areas of Surulere back in the early 1970s. This is the reason why a lot of Lagos Island indigenes have family houses in Surulere, Lagos.

Desmond is a Lagos State indigene from Olowogbo, Lagos Island although the Elliot's original paternal family roots is definitely from one of the Yoruba hinterlands of Egba, Ijesa, Oyo, Yewa, etc, BUT due to trans-Atlantic enslavements of many Yoruba families due to series of wars especially in the 1800s and they found themselves in Sierra Leone, Brazil, Cuba, United States, Trinidad and Tobago, Liberia. Many of them returned to Yorubaland after gaining their freedom with many Yoruba returnees from Sierra Leone settling down in Olowogbowo on Lagos Island back in the 1800s.

Those Yoruba returnees from Bahia in Brazil and Cuba settled in Campos Square, while some returnees bravely went to their ancestral homelands of Egba and Ijesaland to settle there. The famous Vaughan and Haastrop families for instance migrated after the slave trade ended from the United States and Sierra Leone went to Abeokuta and Ijesaland their original paternal homelands.

The wealthy Vaughan family however relocated from Abeokuta to Ebute-Metta after the Egba Chief in Abeokuta expelled all the Christians on the strong suspicion of supporting British Colonial interests against them.

I've written the historical specifics ABOVE so that readers who have no idea can easily deduce how Desmond Olusola Elliott's family and other returnee Yorubas who have English, Portuguese, Spanish, and German surnames became naturalised indigenes of Lagos Island even though many are originally NOT paternally from there like the indigenous Awori-Yoruba land owners (the Ekos) BUT from the Yoruba interior.

Desmond is not from Calabar,his mother na Calabar while his father from Olowo gbowo in lagos

I remember full well that Desmond Olusola Elliott himself granted a media interview over 16 years ago where he affirmed that he is a Yoruba man and his biological mother if from Illah near Asaba (The NTA veteran Frank Olize is also from Illah) in Delta North of Delta State NOT Calabar. It's Desmond's wife (who he met at the University of Jos where he also schooled) that is from Cross River State. Illah is an Ibo-speaking community but the name of the town is of Igala origin. There are historically Igala migrants who make up the indigenes of Illah today going back to 400 years ago due to wars especially with the Benin Kingdom army and more.

However, you are absolutely correct that Desmond's late biological father who was an academic at University of Jos is from the Olowogbowo area of Lagos Island.
