Nollywood Star To Challenge President Goodluck Jonathan's PDP In Lagos State

Nollywood actor Desmond Elliot has issued a statement saying he will contest legislative elections into the Lagos State Assembly next year. Desmond Elliot will be challenging President Goodluck’s PDP party as a frontliner of the All Progressive Congress. Cat calls from the PDP camp have already greeted the Nollywood man over a Yoruba name- Olusola which appeared on his official campaign documents. A PDP spokesman in Lagos said he is trying to win the hearts of the Yorubas by adopting a name that the world never knew him with-Olusola Desmond Elliot. However, supporters of the Nigerian actor maintain that he is a Lagos lad and simply doing what President Goodluck Jonathan did some years ago when he took the name Ebele in order to win the support of the igbos. Desmond Elliot has gotten the endorsement of many senior actors of the Nigerian movie industry.
