The lawmaker representing Surulere Constituency I in the Lagos State House of Assembly, Desmond Olushola Elliot, has officially taken a step toward securing another term by obtaining his nomination form. He announced this through his Facebook page on Sunday, revealing his intention to contest in the upcoming legislative elections.
Elliot emphasized that his decision is rooted in a deep commitment to public service and a vision to expand upon the developmental progress already made in his constituency. He highlighted that returning to the Assembly would elevate him to the status of a ranking member, which, he noted, would bring substantial benefits to Surulere Constituency I. “My going back makes me automatically a ranking member, and loads of benefits come to our constituency,” he stated.

He called on his supporters to maintain peace and focus during the electoral process, underscoring the importance of unity and mutual respect. “Our strength has always been in our togetherness, and I am confident that same spirit will guide us again,” he added.
