Desmond Elliot has been challenged to put in a lot of effort if he intends to keep serving as the representative of Surulere in the Lagos state House of Assembly.

The actor-turned-politician carried his campaign train to a Catholic church and tried to win them over in a popular Instagram video.

The politician made it known that he is also Igbo when speaking at the church, and to emphasize his point, he briefly addressed the crowd in Igbo.

Netizens react to the video

rubelsandangels: “The pressure is getting wesser.”

officialperpetua7: “The Igbo y’all hate are the same people you want their vote.”

iam_olamma1: “After now they will say we are dragging their state with them now they’re dragging our tribe.”

macbaron_: “Wow ur mom is from my village I can’t wait hear her say Eluu P 74.

felixxabang_: “There must be something this guys are not telling us, what is it that they really want to be in that position by any means? If you genuinely want to just work for the people you can’t be wanting to be there by all means possible.”

splendstar: “Nawa oo, I won’t be surprised if I wake tomorrow morning and see that Sanwo Olu has added Mazi to his name.”
