Lawmaker representing Surulere I in the Lagos State House of Assembly, Desmond Elliot, has shared video evidence of his supporters who were denied access to accreditation during Wednesday’s state assembly primary election of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
DAILY POST reports that the actor-turned-politician had announced his withdrawal from the race, alleging that his supporters were being intimidated.
Sharing the video on his official Facebook page, Desmond said: “There were clear cases of intimidation across different polling units, and my supporters were denied access to accreditation — let alone voting.”
According to him, what played out during the APC primary election “is not democracy.”
In the video, Desmond’s supporters could be heard screaming: “All we want is Desmond, give us Desmond.”
