‘I’m sorry, my daddy’ – Desmond Elliot apologises to Gbajabiamila

Lagos lawmaker Desmond Elliot has publicly apologised to his political mentor and the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, saying he may have offended him during the course of his political engagements.

Elliot made the apology during an appearance on TVC’s “Your View” programme on Friday, where he stated that any misunderstanding between them was unintentional and reaffirmed his commitment to party unity and development in his constituency.

The apology follows earlier political tensions connected to the Lagos State House of Assembly leadership crisis, during which Gbajabiamila disclosed that he nearly lost his position at the Presidency over allegations linked to Elliot’s political activities.

Gbajabiamila had claimed that President Bola Tinubu confronted him over intelligence reports suggesting Elliot’s involvement in moves to impeach Lagos Speaker Mudashiru Obasa, an allegation he denied at the time.

Speaking during the programme, Elliot said he entered politics under the guidance of Gbajabiamila, whom he described as his “egbon,” noting that emotions and misunderstandings may have contributed to their differences.

“I’m not saying, oh, yes, media will come out, oh yes, Desmond begs again. Yes, because he’s my egbon. And I grew up learning everything I knew in politics through him,” he said.

He added that mistakes were inevitable in political relationships.

“To err is human, to forgive is divine. So I’m sorry, my daddy, if I’ve offended you in any way,” he said.

Elliot also apologised to whom he described as the “matriarch of Surulere,” expressing regret over any offence caused.

“To the matriarch of Surulere, mama, I’m sorry if I’ve offended you,” he said.

Despite the apology, the lawmaker maintained that he remained focused on strengthening the party and delivering on his mandate to constituents.

“But I will keep keeping the party strong. And to all Surulerians, my scorecard is there. You know the things I’ve done to make Surulere a better place,” he added.

Apologies not accepted. Desmond, go back to Nollywood. No be only you Waka come.

Una dey disturb rivers govt from working

But can't stomach any masterminding in your backyard

These apc people are not well

Oga at the top have the final say

He should go and sleep. The ordinary people he betrayed are happy he is entering his dark moment

He aligned with the smaller of the godfathers(yek and gbaja).

This guy should either accept his fate or fight like man, and stop embarrassing himself.

Just go and produce a Hollywood movie with the litter funds you've embezzled.

If you know Gbajabiamila's influence in Surulere politics, you'll know Desmond is a goner.

He can be compensated with the post of a commissioner under Obafemi hamzat if he supports Tinubu and Hamzat in 2027

Desmond my crush that year, he has become too chubby now

Too late
He should go back to Nollywood

He should ask Ambode.......

For this life eh.....

Person wey senior person....na senior man....

if you want something,...just recognize your place and learn how to stay there......

God Abeg ooooo

See matured men all don turn zombie

A man like them decides who runs or not, lif

A human like them oooooo

Tueeeeeeeeeee zombism is worst than olodoisme their life and destiny

As expected, no matter what Gbaja said, I knew Desmond wld come out to lick his ass.

Most Nigerian politicians have nothing to offer, asides for filling up their pockets with dirty funds.

Bros, stop looking for free Nigerian money again. Go and huzzle; go back to Nollywood or start a running business.

He has himself to blame, after 12 years he couldn't build grass root support. He deserves what has come to him.

Because you want power, you are now humble.. Shioor

Noted.


Afterall, it's a family affairs.

Desmond Elliott how many term you wan go?

Much as I support APC, I would vote another candidate If Desmond Elliot is on the docket.

Won't you survive outside politics?

Do your constituents acknowledge any development after so many years in the House?

Guess it's too late to apologize.

Your replacement is already warming up.

But if you go to Aso Rock and kiss the ring, you might get a commissioner appointment or something.

Chai, Des-mont don't know his daddy again oo or abi Gbaja don become 'Daddy Pas-tics'?
This son of Elliot should find something else to do and stop this humiliation in public space.

Teach that Desmond a lesson he would never forget

"if I've offended you".... this one never learn, that statement carry lots of weight.

Reminds me of the story of the prodigal child, however this one doesn't want to face the consequences of betrayal. Rather, he wants to keep on being entitled.

Must u enter for the fourth time

Oga rest

Baby freder politicians are the problem of Nigeria. They are not willing to be responsible to themselves. They need the national cake to keep living lavishly. Ask of their achievements and projects carried out as parliamentarians, you will be shocked that they may be showing wheel barrows and shovels. NIGERIANS, WAKE UP. NOBODY CARES FOR YOU. FIGHT FOR YOUR FREEDOM.

What brought Rivers into this now just tell me?

In essence, your power comes from Gbaja and not your constituents
