Actress Efe Irele has thrown her weight behind actor-turned-politician Desmond Elliot who is seeking another term as a representative of Surulere Constituency 1 in the Lagos State House of Assembly.
Efe posted Desmond’s achievements on Instagram on Wednesday, three days before the election, adding that she is supporting him not because she knows him but because of what he has done as an individual and state legislator.
“I believe in @desmondelliot not because I know him but because I have seen what he has done as an individual and as a lawmaker,” Efe wrote.
“I have seen how he encouraged and supported young Lagosians (including me) in the creative industry.
“I have seen him provide free shuttle buses for students in Surulere. I personally know up to 15 out of the 1,000 people he provided free health care and insurance for.”
The movie star noted that though Desmond may not be doing too well with projecting his work to the public she would still vote for him.
“Forget PR and social media management, Desmond Elliot is a good representative and I will be supporting and voting for him on Saturday. I am with you my big brother and friend. @desmondelliot,” Efe said.
