I heard he bought some transformers at a time. But the powers that made him honourable no longer want him. Politics in Lagos can be dirty. Godfatherism here is very very strong. It is better he steps down and he can continue his life outside politics and try again another time. Don't let this people bring you down by force. They have been very manipulative, rude, wicked and deadly.
Only if he would hear cheesy

You leave the people that are trying to remove him (Tinubu and Gbajabiamla) and you're calling Desmond greedy and selfish!

Tinubu has practically procured Lagos for 30 years,,
Gbajabiamla has been around for 20 years.

Yet it is Desmond that is greedy and selfish!

How you people use your heads is beyond me.
Those days has gone past and what did Desmond do for his people during that 12yrs? For your information, tinubu did not spend 12yrs has governor neither gbaja and Desmond did not fight for the seat, he was also imposed. If he is confidence of himself and still want to be in that seat, he should use another party platform and not APC. Two wrongs don’t make it right. Now u see that u are the one not using your head

Madam Barakat, it's ok as a woman to think Elliott backout or steps down but this is politics, if others back off or if all aspirants back off then our politics would look childs' play.

I'm against Elliot contesting again because he's over ambitious and he should be ok with 3 terms.

I wish you best, I want you to emerge, sincerely, I do.

Come Wednesday, I would be among those who would say to you congratulations ok.
She is saying that because some other contestant back off for Desmond too. It is the system of the APC party. If anyone don’t like it, you can use another political party as the guy that won the counselorship election under PDP did during the last election in Lagos. The guy won bcs he was loved by his people because of what he did in his first tenure. The only candidate that won under another party that is not APC

I dont hold brief for desmond ediot becos he is a beneficiary of the system witch hunting him now, someone was also put down for him

However was i find very diaturbing is People like you, yarimo, richtaiwo that support this barbaric & anti democratic system of " Baba Sope" .. Instead of consensus or direct primary ... We now have old men in the party imposing candidate as consensus

NO matter your rank, your performance... Some old men can just gather n kick anyone out of an elective post, shebi we saw what happened to Ambode

From the APC primaries so far.... Why should any sane youth say that's the party he loves, where is the internal democracy .. Some old men are Alpha & Omaga they decide it all

Shame on every youth supporting APC, look across the primaries its appalling
Let’s those supporting them continue and let’s those that want a better Nigeria do the right thing by voting them out and defending your vote. That’s life for you, you win some, you lose some

Desmond Elliot is fighting against the structure that brought him to power, the same structure he used to win three times before now. If he had invested in the people, his constituents , he wouldn't be the one campaigning for himself like an activist, the people would have been the ones doing that.

I hope he survives this politically.
Even if he had done well by the people, if Tinubu says he should step down, his people will align with Tinubu's wishes and abandon him. It's like you people don't understand the kind of politics they play over there.

Yes, Tinubu has now procured Nigeria. What can you do?
Highest another 10 years he will "unprocure" it and go to the grave.
