THERE’S NOTHING DESMOND ELLIOT STANDS FOR—SEUN KUTI: Endsars


Seun Kuti, an Afrobeat singer and social crusader, has said that Desmond Elliot, a lawmaker and entertainer from Lagos State, is a man who does not stand for anything.
Ever since a video appeared of him at the Lagos State House of Assembly, where he called Nigerian young people’ children ‘and pursued social media control, the lawmaker has faced backlash from the public.

The Grammy award-nominated musician mentioned in an exclusive interview that the Nigerian people have given the lawmaker a new name, Desmond Idiot, which is the name he calls the lawmaker.

“He said There is no one like Desmond Elliot, and Desmond Idiot is his new name among the people of Nigeria. His real name is Desmond Idiot, an insult that he doesn’t like.

Being a youth is not an ideology. A man like Desmond does not stand for anything. He is also a beneficiary of that patronage system that has been used to establish every other person in Nigeria

There is nothing special about where he is. He is not there by talent, know-how, or skill; he is there because those oppressors that we complain about picked him to represent them there.

He went on, “Desmond himself does not have a will of his own.” He was playing the gallery when he was speaking at the State House of Assembly, suggesting he was behaving as an actor pretending that our lives were a Nollywood movie After he acted, they said, ‘the film no sweet’

He had part two to do. In part one of the film, he was a strong man; in part two, he was a baby crying. Desmond Elliot is an embodiment of what politicians are, corrupt actors in Nigeria. He’s just fulfilling his position as the governor did. In one week, how many lies did the governor tell about the Lekki shooting? Desmond Elliot is now a traditional Nigerian politician He is not a revolutionary politician.”
