Nigerian actor, director and aspiring politician, Desmond
Elliot is one of the several entertainers eyeing political
offices ahead of the 2015 general elections .
A few months back, he declared his intention to represent
Surulere Constituency 1 at the Lagos State House of
Assembly under the All Progressives Congress
And in a recent Twitter quiz with his fans, the 40-year old
actor who before now was not really known as a Lagos
State indigene, confessed he is now a night crawler
because of politics.
The actor revealed that he has never
been a night crawler all his life but that politics has
changed that to a large extent.
When asked why he had not been using his Yoruba name,
Olusola since hitting limelight, the actor explained that he
had to use his English name for ‘professional reasons.’
Speaking with City People on his reasons for joining
politics, he explained that joining politics for him is an
ambition he had nursed for many years but only joined at a
time he considers the most appropriate time to declare his
intention.
‘Politics has been in me for many years but I wanted a
party which was progressive. My choice of APC was
because its stronger and progressive.
The party is one you
can identify with. This is also a good platform and a good
party. It has lots of PROGRAMS that cater for people’s
welfare. It has so much differentiated itself from all others.
This is one of the reasons why I decided to join the party,’
he explained.
