2027: Desmond Elliott Cries Foul Over Intimidation, Security Aide Withdrawal Ahead of Primaries

Desmond Elliott, a prominent figure in the Lagos State House of Assembly, has voiced serious concerns regarding the upcoming primaries of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Elliott, representing Surulere, alleges a concerted effort by certain party leaders to intimidate him and subject him to political victimization. This alleged manipulation extends to attempts to unfairly influence the outcome of the primaries.

The situation is further compounded by the reported withdrawal of Elliott's security aides. This action, he claims, leaves him vulnerable and underscores the severity of the political pressure he is facing. The lawmaker's accusations highlight internal party struggles and the high stakes involved in the pre-election processes within the APC.

This development is particularly significant given the political landscape in Lagos State, where party primaries often determine the trajectory of political careers. Elliott's public outcry signals a potential rift within the party and raises questions about the fairness and transparency of the electoral process at the grassroots level. The Vanguard's reporting focuses on these allegations, presenting Elliott's perspective on the challenges he faces ahead of the primaries.
