Church don close, he should go back to his primary occupation which is acting undecided

Omo this matter go far oo. On the one hand, I don't want Desmond's political ambition to be stifled by the lack of support from political godfathers, on the other hand, he's a beneficiary of the same system.

At the end of the day, what would determine if he actually deserves the position is the impact he made in his 12 years in office. How well did Surulere constituents fare under him, was he using the office for more of personal enrichment? Over to the constituents.

Lol... cheesy
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.
No problem, contact Alhaji if anyone dares you again.

Verily! I have the Mat and the slippers!

What's the meaning of the emboldened? That criminal group you lots worship must be disbanded!
It is blatantly obvious that you have comprehension issues and are a mental Lilliputian.
I have nothing more to say to a personality that only hears Go and does not hear Come.
Have a not so nice day. I am done with reducing my brain cells which is what having a conversation with your type induces.

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.
He is just compounding his woes. Ambode has positioned himself for appointment in the second term of Tinubu and also future elective posts. But this one with his doubling down just nailed his political coffin in Surulere (constituency of gladiators where you a nobody in politics was just picked and annointed0.


Thank you for your attention to this matter

Infact, he should be ashamed of himself for seeking another term. Three terms is more than enough time for him to deliver

Hes not the only one from Surulere, its another man's turn. Even in presidency, no matter how good you are, you can't do more than 8 yrs
Re: Desmond Elliot’s Campaign DG Dumps Actor-Lawmaker For Barrister Barakat by oyeb15: 5:40pm On May 17
He should go and contest in Edo State. I dey live for Yaba in Surulere. Na only gbajabiamila impact is felt .

Lg chairman, rep, senator, house of assembly in Surulere are Zero impact.

When men lift you, men can still pull you down. When men lift you, ensure you don't go against the interests of those men, especially openly. Desmond went against the interests of his backers. He is having to pay a heavy price.

Because he didn't perform, many of you are just surporting him base on emotions, because you hate tyrant on the throne, he, himself worse than tyrant.

Everywhere go just blur blur
I am sorry Desmond
Sorry for what exactly?
A young man like him should have created a platform for smart minds to generate transformative ideas.
Sorry that he spent 12 years getting paid for doing nothing? Are we not tired of this madness?

Desmond Elliot is now ancient.
His constituency seeks civilization, not the kind promised from Mars.

Goosethetruth:
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.
Gbam!!
