‘In My Kind of Politics, I Don’t Steal’ — Desmond Elliot

Actor-turned-legislator Desmond Elliot says his path in politics is about service, not personal gain. He told a radio show he will find funds to help widows because he has never stolen from the public purse. Elliot argues that many officials hoard money out of fear of losing office. He reminds fellow politicians that power is temporary and urges them to focus on the people, not self-enrichment. He lists reliable electricity and improved healthcare in Surulere Constituency I as his proudest achievements. He also proposes a homegrown democratic plan with rotating regional leadership over 30 years. On the national stage, Elliot says he has yet to see anyone who can take over from President Bola Tinubu.
