Desmond Elliot, the Nigerian actor cum politician, has revealed his decision to represent Surulere constituency I for a fourth term in the Lagos state house of assembly.
In a recent X post, Elliot said he had obtained the
nomination form to contest for re-election, formally informing constituents and
stakeholders of his decision.
He added that his bid for another term is driven by a
continued commitment to service and a desire to build on the progress achieved
during his time in office.
The lawmaker also expressed gratitude to residents,
political associates and community leaders for their support over the years,
adding that it has been instrumental to his journey.
Elliot said securing a fourth term would grant him ranking
status in the assembly, a position he said would attract greater benefits and
increased attention to the constituency.
“My dear people of Surulere Constituency I, I greet you all
with profound respect and gratitude. A few days ago, I obtained the nomination
form to seek a return mandate to the Lagos State House of Assembly to represent
Surulere Constituency I,” he said.
“I write to formally inform all residents, workers,
political associates, leaders, stakeholders, and the good people of Surulere of
this decision. This step is born out of my continued commitment to serve, to
consolidate the progress we have made together, and to further advance our
collective aspirations.
“I remain deeply grateful for the trust, encouragement, and
solidarity you have shown me over the years. By the grace of God, my return to
the House will confer ranking status on our constituency. In a system where
experience is recognized, this position will attract greater attention and
benefits for our people.
“To our party leaders in Surulere Local Government, ward
executives, community leaders, youth groups, women’s associations, and all
stakeholders across Lagos State and beyond: I sincerely appreciate your
unwavering support, guidance, and belief in our shared vision.
“I appeal to all my supporters to remain calm, steadfast,
and focused. Let us continue to uphold peace, unity, and respect as we move
forward on this journey together. Our strength has always been in our
togetherness, and I am confident that the same spirit will see us through.
“I do not take your support for granted. Together, we will
continue to build a stronger Surulere and contribute meaningfully to the
development of Lagos State. Thank you all. May we continue to move forward in
unity and purpose.”
