Desmond Elliot wins APC primary ticket to contest for Lagos House of reps

He just won the All Progressive Congress(APC) ticket to contest for
the Lagos House Of Representatives where he will represent the people
of Surulere in the coming elections in 2015. We learnt that the other
aspirants stepped down for him. The primary was peaceful at all the
venues monitored by our correspondent except in Surulere where there
was tension because Nollywood star, Desmond Elliot, was said to have
been favoured against the incumbent and two-term member of the House,
Kabiru Lawal. It is being alleged that Elliot is ex-president Olusegun
Obasanjo and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar's candidate. It was
also gathered that Lawal will be compensated with the chairmanship
position of Surulere Local Government.
