Desmond Elliot, has declared that he also hails from the eastern part of Nigeria while soliciting for votes ahead of the state Assembly election.

 

The member, of the Lagos State House of Assembly representing the Surulere constituency, who is seeking re-election, was spotted canvassing for votes in a church.

 

While addressing the congregation, Desmond suddenly started speaking the Igbo language.



The lawmaker stated that he was partly Igbo because of his mother and it cannot be erased from him.

 

Recall, that many had mocked the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, over his consistent visit to churches during the campaign.
