Many Don't Believe I Am A Lagosian Simply Because I Don't Act In Yoruba Movies - "Desmond Elliott"

So, finest bobo, actor turned Politician Desmond Elliott was critisized when he rolled out his campaign posters with a yoruba name "OLUSHOLA" attached to it. Many didn't know he is a typical yoruba man simply because he has acted mostly in English movies.
Desmond is contesting for a seat in the House of Assembly under the APC party.

Speaking with City People, the actor defended his name......

“I am from Lagos state. My father is from Olowogbowo in Lagos Island but my mother is from Delta state. I refer to myself as being a Pan-African. People don’t believe I am a Lagosian because I seldom act in Yoruba movies. And I didn’t include the Shola in my name. Then because my surname is also English, many couldn’t differentiate which made people confused of where exactly I am from. I am very detribalised. People of my constituency know my story and know where I come from. I have always used Shola in my primary school days. I went to Air Force Primary School in Plateau and later attended St John’s College, both in Jos. I proceeded to Lagos State University where I studied Economics and graduated in 2003″
