Facing heat once, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila said Desmond Elliot’s role in toppling ex-Speaker Mudashiru Obasa almost cost him his path forward. Though quiet at first, he later admitted tension built fast behind closed doors. That moment, small then, rippled wider than expected across alliances. One move by Elliot stirred doubts about loyalty among key figures. Trust thinned quickly, even where it seemed solid before. His position wobbled – just slightly – but enough to notice. Not many saw how close things came to shifting entirely.
According to the report, Gbajabiamila touched on the friction tied to power struggles in Lagos State’s legislative chamber. He explained how the standoff stirred deep divides between top officials. Trouble nearly knocked him off course, simply because tensions ran so high.
Out of nowhere, talk about Desmond Elliot’s moves in the impeachment drama started spreading through Lagos party circles. Voices grew louder when big players took issue, making tensions climb from all directions, Gbajabiamila noted.
Later on, talks between party figures cleared up the issue, said ex-Speaker Mudashiru Obasa. Tough patches pop up in politics, he noted – clashes inside the group grow more likely once leadership shifts enter the picture.
Still a familiar name in Lagos state politics, Desmond Elliot once acted in movies before joining politics. Representing Surulere in the state assembly, he carries recognition from his earlier days in Nollywood. Fame followed him into governance, where past work keeps his profile visible. Not many make that shift so visibly. His presence stands out, shaped by years on screen, now turned toward policy. Out of nowhere, talk about impeaching Mudashiru Obasa exploded into headlines across Lagos, pulling responses from lawmakers and everyday people alike. Behind the scenes, tensions inside the city’s dominant party began showing through cracks.
