The way Nigerian entertainers jump into politics is becoming quite amazing these days. As at the last count, no fewer than 10 actors, musicians, comedians and other entertainers have joined politics and have declared their intentions to run for various positions in different states in Nigeria.
The latest to join the fray is top Nollywood actor and producer, Desmond Elliot who is contesting for a seat in the Lagos State House of Assembly in the forthcoming 2015 elections under the umbrella of the All Progressive Congress, APC.
The much loved actor who has never hidden his love for his people, has outlined some of the things he intends to do for his constituents if he is elected into the House. Though some are wondering why he is running for a seat in the Lagos House, it may interest you to know that Desmond Elliot is actually a Lagosian and he is set to make a change if he gets the opportunity.
Desmond joins the likes of actress Kate Henshaw, actors Bob Manuel-Udokwu, comedians Okey Bakassi, Julius Agwu and musicians 9ice and Kenny Saint Brown as some of the entertainment stars who have declared their intentions to run for elective positions in 2015.
