Youths in Surulere, Lagos State have vowed to come out in masse to vote out Nollywood actor cum politician Desmond Elliot, during the upcoming state election.Information Guide Nigeria

The actor currently holds a political post as a lawmaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Surulere Constituency.

GISTLOVER reports that the youth are angry with Desmond Elliot, because ever since he was sworn into office on 11 April 2015, he hasn’t produced any positive outcome, especially in Surulere.

He turned his back on the youths during the END Sars protest in 2020, by pushing for a bill to regulate and control speech on social media at the Lagos State house of assembly, GISTLOVER reports.
