He didn't do anything for his constituents

Obidients are seeking to add Desmond to their long list of political casualties. He had better steered clear of them to salvage the little left of his dwindling political career

If you don't have the support of your party hierarchy, just humbly step down to avoid embarrassment

This is a direct primary. His success depends on the past relationships he has cultivated with his constituents. If he was good to them, he'll surely have their support. if he wasn't, oya sope oti lo
U mean that primaries were 50 people are counted as 4000 even in the presence of camera

Desmond can win but he must invest heavily in logistics and he must have trusted people all over the polling units
He must be ready to mount cameras in all the polling units and station people there.
Thats the only way

Desmond thinks that Nollywood is same thing as Reality

But he said he was in South Africa when they went to plan and execute a coup.

Anyway, what of the main coupists - like Oba Saed Elegushi's sister and all. Have they been denied tickets too?
The smaller fries get hit first...would you have believed that El-Rufai and Tinubu will fallout...I mean been shamed at an ambassadorial screening and then now been dragged by DSS every 7 market days.

Politicians don't forget o!

So those other ones time will come and most of us would have moved on to remember the background story!

His zero achievement he did for twelve years will vote for him
Re: Surulere Constituency 1: Can Desmond Elliot Do What Ambode Couldn’t? by tiger28: 8:24pm On May 18
This fool is fighting for his survival in Surulere but can’t show or prove to us any of his achievements in Surulere…….

Instead, he put together 5 Easterners and 1 Yoruba ex Nollywood actors to support his re- election in SURULERE.

He should go back to Acting.

Abeg !

I don't support anyone but Desmond is a bonafide lagosian. So he's going to contest, endorse your candidate in peace. That's all
yes.. that was why they made that move to Obasa. The deputy lady they installed is a lagosian.
Assuming Desmond worked for his constituency, it would ve helped him.

Win where? Don't be sounding like a novice how can he win against the Gbajabiamila and Tinubu who are the main opposition to his ambition

Re: Surulere Constituency 1: Can Desmond Elliot Do What Ambode Couldn’t? by crossbreedwears(m): 9:13pm On May 18
He's not going to win anything bro. Gbaja is protecting his job and Baba Sope it's over for him. The truth his any politician trying to bring down Baba's loyalist is a goner

Mtchew, if Desmond is that powerful he should install himself as the party flag bearer and let see.

Desmond should go and learn politics again... You plotted a coup against the speaker of the house without making an exit plan.... Do you need anyone to tell you what's going to happen immediately the coup failed?

You should have asked whoever sponsors the coup your next plan instead of trying to form Spartacus.
But you all supported the action of removing the speaker then, why changing your mouth again?

The koko of the matter. Only those who genuinely love him will take this risk

But that route comes with enormous risks. Even now, the APC is already whipping Elliot’s loyalists into line. In a video, his campaign DG, one Blessing Koye, said he is withdrawing support from Elliot, and he is now backing the aspirant endorsed by Gbajabiamila. The embattled lawmaker even said his security aides have been withdrawn, and his supporters working in Lagos councils and other agencies are being sacked and intimidated.

Will there be a free, fair and credible primary on Wednesday? Given what is happening now, can Elliot’s supporters come out boldly on Wednesday and queue to vote for him?

Even Desmond political godfather Gbajabiamila and Sanwo Olu are among the coup plotters. Just that didn't know it will not augur well with Mr President.
Desmond has been thrown under the bus by them even though I have no pity for him.

Good to them or not, the elite that doesn't want him will make sure they curtail those his supporters

PigTormentor:
Can Elliot do what Obi couldn't do in ADC?
Always poking nose for other people's matter. Why couldn't Obi r9 that in ADC instead of running to another party? That's the main question.
Nna eh! You must be having Obi's headache or symptoms. What concerns this post and Obi?

Elegushi sister aside, even Elliot godfather Gbaja and Sanwo Olu knows about the plot.
