Hahaha 🤣 you behaving like you didn't see the handwriting on the wall.

He won’t withdraw khe ? Intimidation bawo? Lol

My friend, enter nollywood back and give us a movie titled “my sojourn into politics” Abhi “12 years as a politician”

Desmond is a boy, when others were stepping down, you were happy then. You want to be a superman, they could've given you SA.Those who are pushing you in Surulere to be a man, don't have voting power.

Very greedy guy. He had same position for 3 consecutive times. Does he think this political position is his family right? He should move on or test his popularity by contesting on another political platform.

Tinubu now needs to draw him close with his other hand.
Give him an appointment where he can be useful

Children are disciplined to mend their character not to finish them

Omooorrrr that una Lagos no be for the weak o

Withdraw ke. I thought he was bragging of free and fair elections

You have been dinning with the devils over the last 12 years and your spoon is still not long enough.

He may have lost that opportunity with his constant talk in the media

Game of thrones .... e go far oo

They enjoy the corrupt process that brought them in, and then go ahead to try and fight the corruption when they are rejected. Hopeless politicians.

Pressure to wa..!!! APC is like a secret cult


Lol 😂

After joining to oppress the people, you now start playing victim.

Typical Tinubu supporter

but it's Tinubu right Abi?

LAUGHING IN SWAHILI .He said fg should BAN SOCIAL MEDIA THEN. PERSON WEY DO ONLY ONE CULVERT WITH PLANK

Chai. The man has chickened out.



Lily-livered man.

Withdrawal when the election was already in process and he saw his humiliation. Desmond Elliott messed up, he could have withdrawn the moment Gbaja stopped supporting him, it's more honourable that way. You doing video calling for free and fair election to allow your supporters make their free decision was an affront. How did he think he can challenge Gbaja in a free and fair election?

12 years in the chamber

12 years of awoof enjoyment.

I can draft lots of titles for him

People were also told to step down for him so that he could run for three consecutive terms. He has done enough, it is time to allow others to step in.

That's the right thing to do because the lagos landlord will never accept him.

If they can call VP prof osinbajo judas who are u desmond?

Counterigbolies:
here we don't bite the fingers that fed us unlike where u come from where rebellion against your benefactor is seen as normal

Excercising ur democratic and human right is biting the finger? What did tinubu do to afenifere?

Is loyalty equal to slavery for life? If osinbajo say he wants to contest for president why must u call him judas?

I agree desmond should step down especially cos the other lady stepped down for him too but u cant force him.

He Bleep up big time. When you have a God father ain't you supposed to consult him in delicate matters like impeachment. You don't grow wings overnight. Always consider other people position when playing politics. You don't just go ahead and pull down an IROKO tree without consequences. I felt so sorry for him.

At last. u bow to pressure.
For me, i for don bow

That's the honorable thing to do when staring hard at failure.

This is medicine after death. You've already disobeyed your godfather.

No one can say that godfatherism doesn't matter in Nigeria politics...you don err be say you don err.
