Nigerians Vow To Replace Desmond Elliot With Olumide Oworu In Upcoming Elections

The people of Surulere constituency in Lagos, Nigeria, have vowed to vote in Olumide Oworu as their representative in the government and state House of Representatives elections, in a bid to replace incumbent Desmond Elliot, who they claim insulted the youth during the #EndSARS protests.

Elliot, a Nollywood actor-turned-politician, sparked outrage last year when he referred to the youth protesters as “children” and called for the regulation of social media in the wake of the protests against police brutality and extrajudicial killings in Nigeria.

The comments were widely criticized by Nigerians, who saw them as an insult to the youth and a sign of the disconnect between the political class and the people they represent.

In response to Elliot’s comments, many Nigerians have rallied around Olumide Oworu, a young actor and filmmaker who they see as a more suitable representative for the Surulere constituency.

Oworu, who has been vocal in his support for the #EndSARS protests and the youth movement in Nigeria, has promised to be a voice for the people and to work towards building a better future for all.

The campaign to replace Elliot with Oworu has gained momentum in recent months, with many Nigerians taking to social media to voice their support for the young actor and to call for a change in leadership in Surulere.

As the election draws near, the people of Surulere are determined to make their voices heard and to hold their representatives accountable for their actions. They believe that by voting in Oworu, they can bring about a new era of leadership that is more in tune with the needs and aspirations of the people.

The campaign to replace Desmond Elliot with Olumide Oworu is just one example of the growing discontent among Nigerians with their political leadership. It serves as a reminder that the power ultimately lies with the people, and that they have the ability to bring about change if they are united in their efforts.
