Desmond Elliot Apologizes to Tinubu's Chief of Staff

Desmond Elliot, a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly, publicly sought forgiveness from Femi Gbajabiamila, the Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, during a televised interview on TVC. Elliot expressed deep regret for his actions, which were perceived as a slight against Gbajabiamila, whom he referred to as a political mentor.

The apology was made amid growing speculation about a rift within the political structure of Lagos State, particularly among representatives of different levels of government. Elliot emphasized that he did not intend to show disrespect or undermine the authority of the Chief of Staff.

He acknowledged the importance of maintaining unity within the political family, especially given the high stakes involved in governance in Lagos State and the country at large. The incident leading to this apology is linked to allegations involving Elliot's perceived role in a plot to impeach Mudashiru Obasa, the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, which has cast a shadow over Elliot's political future.
