The Nollywood actor has become a card
carrying member of the Labour Party
It would appear that Nollywood actor is on the
road to fulfilling his life long ambition of
becoming a politician as the seasoned
thespian has now become a card carrying
member of the Labour Party.
Desmond plans to contest for the Lagos State
House of Assembly, Surulere constituency
come 2015.
The actor/producer/director who seeks to
become 'an agent of change' had stated in the
past that he had political ambitions and hoped
to rule Lagos state one day and from all
indications, Desmond means business.
It won't be the first time a celebrity is veering
into the intrigue-filled world of politics;
Nollywood actor and former Gulder Ultimate
Search host, Bob Manuel-Udokwu is a Special
Assistant in Anambra state while Nkiru
Sylvanus also served as a Special Assistant in
Imo state.
Also outside Nigeria, popular action movie
hero Arnold Schwazzneger veered into politics
and ruled California as governor for eight years
while Chinese first lady Peng Liyuan was a
popular Chinese folk singer before she traded
the stage for the government house after her
husband became president.
So what do you think? Does Desmond Elliot
stand a chance in politics?
