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.
no mind the guy. He was forming James Bond to impress people like ajepako and Dominique.

Why wont he withdraw from the race when defeat was looming. People have been stepping down for you since 2015 but you are finding it difficult to step down after 3 consecutive terms. Very greedy soul.

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.
I don't know how you people reason! Is there any law that stops him from contesting as many times as he wants? You are blaming the guy instead of the law. At the end hypokrits like you if given the opportunity will do the same thing if not worse.

This one will be asking the same stewhipd and tribalistic questions all over different threads.
Re: Desmond Elliot Has Officially Withdrawn From The APC Primaries by TempleHouse: 5:56pm On May 20
From all indication, it seems this guy has no support again from it's constituency and even from Nairaland people ‼️
Though 12 years -3 terms is enough to make impact!

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
Mr Ambode who performed better than Elliot by 1000% is still in the wilderness. Elliot will not be back soon because of his unbridled ambition and crass ignorance and stupidity.

what happen to desmond good for him, cos he is a beneficiary of rotten system Baba sope regime Nigerians are against

However what baffles me is people like you that Support and cheer whats bad for democracy, group of old men just imposing candidate for reason best beneficial to them

Whats now your gain weyrey, ki lo gain, cheering Tinubu to rule forever how e change your family history
What do you gain running after these rogues politician, rice, money

Its not just about Desmond, is that not what they did to Ambode, just deny people a good leader because some old men feel they are not respected enough ...

Baba sope means People are vote are uselezz, people cant save you .. Your stay or out depends on baba sope mood

lol. Finally. Maybe they have promised him something sha
The person that saw the mammoth crowd queued behind Barakat and fore saw his crushing and humiliating defeat and then decided to claim withdrawal.
There is nothing for him for a long time.
Messers Ambode,Osinbajo and Fashola who performed 1000% times better than him are still out in the cold.
They were all coronated at the instance of the God father(Baba). You can't bite the finger feeding you.

There is no impact anyone can make in a teleguided political scenario such as us Lagos. He has been acting a political movie (no pun intended) for three terms now, the script being written in the studios of the Godfather of Lagos politics.

Do you think if he was performing and growing in popularity he will have been let loose for three terms. No. One law of power is that you cannot outshine your master. In a feudal system this is a cardinal sin and is punishable in the former Soviet union by death. Your seat at the regular politburo meeting will not be there when you arrive and you have to exit the room through a special door where KGB agents will be eating to strangle you to death.

Like some said he got there through the feudal system and has been killed through it. Same fate awaits the present head that wears the crown. She will be used and when her time is up, abused.

Nothing beats democracy if you want unfettered performance. They say Fasola was arguably the best performer on that seat since 1999. Why is his political DNA not the standard bearer for Lagos, why someone else.

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.
A lot of these guys don't understand politics. They think it's the dictionary definition of democracy.

Even in America or Europe, you have God fathers and they call the shots.

This was how they misguided the Fubara guy.

All God fathers earned their way to the position of power which by nature is a corrupted element. Do not expect it to be run like holy communion democracy. It is a dirty game.

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

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

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.
Exactly

Some years ago, when they were intimidating other aspirants for you back in the days, you were enjoying it. Now it's your turn. With your recent attitude, you can as well kiss your future political ambitions "good bye" 😎

This is called state capture, not democracy.

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