Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, Femi Gbajabiamila brought Desmond Elliot in 2015, 2019 and 2023 to represent Surulere Constituency 1. Now Gbajabiamila is backing another female aspirant in 2027 but Desmond has vowed to go ahead.

Has Desmond got a higher backing which gave him the confidence?

Mrs. Barakat Adenuga Bakare, the immediate Past Special Adviser on Housing to the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, will replace Hon. Desmond Elliot at the Lagos State House of Assembly, Surulere Constituency 1.

Gbaja is obviously against Elliot. But he wants to put up a fight. Let's see how it goes

Hmmm. E no consign me 😒😕... Jjghj

Make dem continue to fight themselves, so that credible person from credible party go enter

Baba sope party

The APC do not work by peoples mandate. It's government of baba, by baba and for baba

Seek 4th term, na only am dey d area ?

Desmond should go and rest jare

He should go and join NDC ASAP, if not, he will follow Lule

Elliot should go for federal house nahhh

Desmond is a useless politician. I don't know that woman, but I prefer her to Desmond

Desmond should fight like a man. My fear is that the way this government is borrowing money, they can afford to pay 30k per vote, meaning that Desmond doesn't have the financial capacity to outspend him.

End of the road.... Desmond should go home

I hate this elite handpicking of leaders.

This is supposed to be a democracy for goodness sake

He should go and rest. They actors (them Elliot) are they ones acting the movie how politicians over stays and corrupt in the corridor of power.

When he's turn now, he has forgotten their movies about politics and the politicians...

Three term is enough else, he's just been greedy and selfish.
Ba ba, go and sedown

Desmond, please respect yourself & behave civil. 12 years is enough!

..but why can't Desmond Elliott go and contest for house of reps..at least to move forward

Hmmmm


Life is a phase, every body get their turn to eat and also leave the table for others to eat.

Cycle of Life.

Will replace as how

Has the election taken place already

Why such a tone of finality?

Well Desmond has benefitted from such arrangement in the past

He shouldn't complain now that the shoe is on the other foot

Power is sweet and intoxicating. If you taste it to leave it na by God. Why did you pple think Jonathan renegaded to do just one term? Reach there first then you would understand the spirit in power. Why do u think pple kill for power? It takes the grace of God and a good hrt to let go.

. Probably he doesn't have the support base

It was the same Gbaja that vowed for him in the first place and he failed to deliver. You have done twelve years of doing nothing. At least you had career prior to joining politics, go back.

He didn’t do shiit for his constituents. Let him go m. You will even know he was useless because no one is even speaking for him. No achievement nothing

..then let him go back to Nollywood..he was even doing better in Nollywood

there's one big money coming in, the money is so huge, Desmond can't let go,
if he does, the woman will take over it,
that's the reason he wants to stay, so as soon as it drops gbam!!!
U guys no get the picture

He's a goner .. na only him . Gbaja has the final say there , he should just meet with gbaja and settle every differences and let him be fixed elsewhere..

Human being no dey satisfy. You run 12yrs. (3 good terms). Are you the only most qualified person in the whole Surulere?
Don't over stress the good luck you have in Lagos. Is Desmond want to wait until he will be disgrace and render useless politically in Lagos b4 he get sense?
Musliu obanikoro, Ambode have also equally at different times tried similar gorilla mentality b4 in Lagos. Without core backing, they are now eating the humble pie.
