This is called state capture, not democracy.

If those criminals in power don't support you, your political career is over.

I thought this guy is intelligent, instead of humbly stepping down for their preferred candidate and used the opportunity to bargain for relevance in the same political circle he was forming political giants now he has lost it all. He shouldn't cry foul because that was how he got there in the first place, easy come, easy go.

He has been disgraced and has also lost that trust from the party leaders, he could have been considered for another appointment if he had listen to gbaja and stepped down , now that he has loss he is now covering up, you think we are mumu like him

focus7:
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 Desmond Elliott messed up, he could have withdrawn the moment Gbaja stopped supporting him, it's more honourable than way.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?

Emeskhalifa:
Omooorrrr that una Lagos no be for the weak o

Dem no dey play 4 Lagos ?

Abia will not allow oda tribe to be councillor, talkless of being an assembly member...

Dem no born hin baba well.

Wale Adenuga Production is waiting for him

kolnel:
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.

Go near Ambo......

Atleast he tried. He led the delegation that wanted all children " both adults and kids" stopped using social media platform

Politics dey make people lose their sense.

Not different from the fella who contested the presidential primaries of his party when his political godfather was contesting too.

Atimes, we.tend to overate the sense some people have.

Play with the devil and get burnt. Dem want u to drink blood and u dey do good man instead for u to join another party u want to d!e with the satanic apc party

After 3 terms and having some others withdrawing for him on three occasions. Which long spoon are you talking about again. Oga, you don't know what you are talking about.

datola:
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.

DMCY:
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”

Or rather something like " face to face with a political lion" or " wanting to eat your cake when it has been snatched from you".
Netflix here he comes.

Desmond Iscariot, no be this guy build one kpako bridge for him constituency that year, con dey shamelessly defend am. Lagos sha, you can buy people to pose as supporters.

If u keep quiet u will go down. We should be ready to pay a huge price if we want to change things

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

He's gonna end up as an aide to the Next Lagos State Governor, or a Commissioner. He's young, and still useful to them.

He chickened out

All of you shouting 'go get your pvc'...who tell you say your vote go count

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

You don't know how these people work. There is a reason why they use the media, they remain a threat if they don't give them something to keep their mouth shut. So Elliot has definitely gotten a deal, all his wailing was not in vain.

Mr Adviser its not necessary you comment, cos this kind comment is very annoying and disgusting. He can be useful cos he is the only citizen in the whole of Lagos. Nonsense talk

Ambode and Femi are still working with APC despite all they did back then.

Desmond Elliot has been touched off by the owners of Lagos.

Withdrawal?
You can’t withdraw after releasing 🥹
Na confirm belle be that

He must withdraw we told him before hand not to try an vcome back for 5th term but want to dare us and he got himself to blame.

A state senator who could only built 1 toilet for nearly 16 years with all billions given to him every year? I'm sorry it is a disaster.

Desmond go home we will never call you up for any portfolio for a very very long time to come or you can go and join NDC or ADC with your failure and be romancing with uour fellow failures in both party.

Desmond go back to Nollywood and start from where you stopped with your useless movies.

While on top of the ladder, you spat on people down there. You believed you're there forever and even called hardworking people lazy. So good to see you with the folks you once looked down on.

From your username " christistruth". I suppose you are a Christian, I am also.. First with Desmond,.he spent 16yrs, can you show what he did? Secondly all these apc and politicians are not having the fruits of christ, its a messed up political party with selfish ambition. Whatsoever a man sow he shall reap.
