Lagos is so messed up that Desmond Eliot cannot aspire for higher positions unless one man okays it. People who call this democracy need psychiatric evaluation for obvious reasons
It seems his problem is with Surulere people. Not much impact made according to some of them. He should strive to contest and win. It's up to his constituents.

Besides, I noticed that some of those who have had more than 2 terms are not having it easy this time around. It's not a lifetime seat anyway.
Even Madam Remi only did 2 terms and handed over to someone else.

If Elliot is working but awarding scholarship to Igbos or praising Igbos believe me they will hate him the way they hated Vivar Gbagbo or governor Adeleke of Osun

Desmond Elliot is a Yoruba guy of Lagos origin.....he's an indigene of Lagos. However, Lagos also permits non indigenous residence who has lived in Lagos for so many years to participate in the state House of rep election. There has been instances of Eastern and Northern person having seat in the State House of assembly......


obonujoker:
Wait??

I also thought Ronu said they only want indigenous Lagosian to contest in elective positions, so what's Desmond Elliot looking for??

Desmond Elliot is still young. I'm thinking that since he has held that position for a while, he should aspire to serve at the HoR; people grow naturally. Unfortunately, this is Lagos where someone will have to cherrypick who gets the APC ticket. That's no democracy

Hahaha you suppose to know na,as long as Desmond Elliot is dancing to their tone or joining them to hate Igbos they don't care whether if he is working or not. Infact they will prefer voting Desmond Elliot over their fellow Yoruba who appoint Igbos in his government and case study is Governor of Osun State Adeleke

One day you are here enjoying the profits the seat of power provides, but on the other side of the divide, when death calls is eternity.




Why do you want to linger under the burden of your sins when Jesus Christ has already paid the price to set you free with His blood?

Repent of your sins and be converted today.

Oh I see your point...!

You are very correct.

Everyone should do the needful to any Senator or rep not doing their jobs by voting them out.

It shouldn't be anyone's family house.

The more experienced a legislator, the more useful to their constituency.

It's only in Nigeria that people clamour for zoning of legislative seats.

Well, he's a Nigerian and this is Nigeria where a term isn't enough for every Tom, Dick and Harry in politics, doesn't matter if their previous term(s) is nothing to write home about they'd want to come back again.

If you like slam tire, as long as APC is willing to give him that ticket, he will still come back.

Nothing anyone of you can do as long as you're not in his constituency.
