Why Desmond Elliot’s Community Impact Remains In The Shadows – Femi Branch Speaks

Reports indicate that Elliot, a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly, has frequently faced criticism on social media for his statements and actions as a politician. One notable incident occurred in February when Elliot distributed perfumes to his constituents during the Surulere I by-election, sparking outrage online. Additionally, in 2020, he was heavily criticized for endorsing social media regulation despite previously denying involvement in promoting it.

During an interview on Nollywood on Radio, Branch praised Desmond Elliot’s performance as a politician, asserting that his efforts deserve more recognition. He explained that Elliot’s achievements might be overshadowed by his political superiors, leading to his contributions being attributed to those higher up the ladder.

Branch stated, “I want to praise Desmond Elliot because he has been the actor who has remained consistent in politics. I think the challenge Desmond has faced over time is probably poor public relations, as I am aware of many positive things he has done in the constituency.

“It’s also possible that his efforts are being overshadowed because he is working under a political boss. So, when he accomplishes something, the credit goes to the boss rather than him. I can confidently say that Desmond is doing very well.”
