Did you know Desmond Elliot was Yoruba! Lol! See a reaction to his campaign posters

It is no more news that Nollywood actor, director and producer, Desmond Elliot, has thrown his hat into the political ring to contest for a seat in the Lagos State House of Assembly on the platform of the All Progressives Congress.

His campaign posters bear the names: Desmond ‘Olusola” Elliot and that is the latest issue on the lips of fans and watchers of Yoruba politics.

Where did “Olusola” come from? many asked

Well, it is probably an indication that the Akwa Ibom state actor has become a real politician.

Remember, Goodluck Jonathan adopted the name “Ebele” in order to look like an Igbo “guy”.

Read this reaction on twitter by one Tobena: “This is really funny, though, did he suddenly remember his ancestors are Yoruba, abi where did Olusola surface from, nawa oh…Olushola ko! Olushola ni! So all of a sudden he remembers he has a Yoruba name eh! Guy, contest if you want but don’t come up with any name thinking it’s gonna change anything! I’m sure GEJ is your role model cos you’ve started towing his path of adding Ebele to his name to gain favour with the Igbos. Small time you go come dey tell us how you no get shoe and you dey trek the streets of Lagos! Who even knew this dude was Yoruba! He never identified as one and now all in the name of politricks, his name is Olushola…..Oga park well biko!”

In any case, many have wished him luck especially as he has released a manifesto that covered sports development, a widows’ aid program and health care for the elderly, nursing mothers and children.

Julius Agwu, Kate Henshaw, Kenny Saint Brown(KSB), Bob Manuel Udokwu are some entertainers expected in the 2015 political battle.
