BREAKING: Desmond Elliot’s Campaign DG, Mr. Bless, Dumps Actor-Lawmaker Live at Barrister Barakat Odunuga Bakare’s Declaration Ceremony

[quote]In a dramatic scene that left political observers stunned, Mr. Bless, the Director General of the Desmond Elliot 4th Term Campaign Organisation, publicly abandoned the incumbent lawmaker at the declaration ceremony of Barrister Barakat Odunuga Bakare, announcing his full defection and support for the legal luminary’s bid.

The announcement, made right on the declaration ground, was met with thunderous applause from supporters gathered at the event, as Mr. Bless stepped forward to openly align himself with Barrister Barakat Odunuga Bakare’s campaign — a move that immediately cast a dark cloud over Desmond Elliot’s re-election prospects.

The optics could not have been more damaging for the incumbent. The man who was trusted to coordinate and drive Elliot’s 4th term bid chose one of the most public and high-profile political stages to make his exit, signalling that the cracks within the Elliot camp may run far deeper than previously known.

The atmosphere at Barrister Barakat Odunuga Bakare’s declaration ceremony was electric following the announcement, with the crowd interpreting Mr. Bless’s presence as a powerful statement that change is coming to the constituency.
As of the time of filing this report, the Desmond Elliot Campaign Organisation was yet to respond to the embarrassing development.

Everywhere go just blur blur
I am sorry Desmond

I don't understand how (an average Nollywood actor known more for playing romantic roles than an intellectual sagacity) you benefited from a Baba sope system of politics and when Baba says that it is the turn of another person and you are refusing to tow the line that brought you to office.
The powers that be have taken away your office and bestowed it upon another. You don't need an Oracle to tell you that the game is up unless you are thick upstairs.

O ti lor

O ti tan fun Desmond

He should take a walk
Nothing for him again

He should go and meet Ambode. Let him learn some lessons. He can return in 2031 sha

Baba sope......o ti lo fun Desmond


Barakat Odunuga lokan

If not for Nairaland bots, na better blast you for chop! Who made Lagos State the personal property of your so-called Baba?

I don't really understand this culture of servitude abi na Stockholm syndrome! It's even annoying that you people want to export it to other states!

You don't want to go down that route with me. So caution yourself.
An average actor benefited from an obnoxious system that elevated him above his level and now refuses to accept that the same system is now being used to benefit another person.
You can't have your cake and eat it.
Before any contest you need to understand the rules. Elliot is not even from the Surulere axis of Lagos. He was foisted onto Surulere by the obnoxious Baba Sope system.For over 12 years he did no tangible project for Surulere people . Now the same system that produced him are telling him the game is up and over and now it is the turn of another person to benefit from the same obnoxious system and you are here lamenting as if you are being castrated.
Don't ever dictate to a grown man what he should post on a public forum. I am not responsible for your failure to comprehend my simple post.

Na Ambode treatment dem dey serve Desmond ni 😂🤣🤣

He should have decamped. But let's be honest he didn't perform...even Ambode that performed could not return.

I just know merit has no place there though...

Always read to understand.

This is tantamount to stripping him.unckad in the public.

But then, we weren't there when the going was rosy.

Lo and behold! Alhaji has the Mat and the Slippers!

Note now carefully: that poster was rude to you and dared you!

Do you want the power to punish him?

I offer you -

Commanding tone medicine

Do as I say medicine

Enter his dreams at night medicine

Turn his face backwards on his neck medicine

Turn his hands and legs backward medicine

Make him feel painful fear medicine

Make him sweep without stopping medicine.

The choice is yours.

Verily! Alhaji has the MAT AND THE SLIPPERS, the juju, the tes b, the kettle and the sandbox that sees all things.

Dem don lead baba astray.

Even the governor no fit help am, all this na because of the gang up against Obasa oo.
You know say your leg no strong, you be baby for the house you dey go against baba will.

Political permutation. By the way, does GTBank print the Nigerian national ID card?

Desmond should have just given up.

Desmond is gunner we told him we will ot return him because he is catastrophic and very useless. Only thing we can attributed to Desmond I d I o t is he built one plank legs bridge across one small gutter and that is all.

Des I d i o t sorry game over you can freely join NDC bitch they are failures like you. Safe trip!

Lagos politics no be anybody’s mate.

When the inner caucus say you’re not going, just take it as that.

Eko le le yi
Eko la wa.

Eko o ni ba je.

Lol...
Very funny.
I believe he has repented of his folly. Leave him be. He is most likely an obidient. They are not usually reputed for being cerebral.

Why can't he go and contest for house of reps..at least move to the next level in your political career or journey

E don blur already.

Let him go back to Nollywood and start chasing upcoming female actresses

Because the powers that put him there said NO!
When Elliot was benefiting from the system in three different election circles did he complain?
