Desmond Elliot Kneels for Forgiveness from Gbajabiamila
On September 14, a video of Desmond Elliot, a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly representing Surulere Constituency I, kneeling and pleading for forgiveness from Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, went viral. This emotional appeal highlights the ongoing political crisis within the Surulere APC structure.
Elliot, who has faced political challenges after a disagreement with his former political backer, Gbajabiamila, is seeking reconciliation to rejoin the Lagos APC political family. He acknowledged being misguided during previous political turmoil and accepted the verdict of the people of Surulere, pledging loyalty to the Lagos APC leadership and the Governor’s Advisory Council.
Their relationship has been strained since a crisis in January 2025 involving the removal of Mudashiru Obasa as Speaker of the House, which nearly jeopardized Gbajabiamila's position as Chief of Staff. Elliot denied orchestrating the moves against Obasa, claiming he was abroad during the initial removal.
