The lawmaker representing Surulere Constituency I in the Lagos State House of Assembly, Desmond Olushola Elliot, has formally declared his intention to seek re-election in the forthcoming legislative polls.
Elliot made the announcement in a post shared on his Facebook page on Sunday, confirming that he has obtained the nomination form to contest for another term in office.
According to the legislator, his decision to run again is driven by his commitment to public service and a desire to consolidate what he described as the developmental strides achieved in Surulere Constituency I.
He noted that a successful return to the Assembly would elevate him to the status of a ranking member, a position he said would bring additional advantages to his constituency.
“My going back makes me automatically a ranking member and loads of benefits come to our constituency as a result of this feat,” he stated.
Elliot also expressed appreciation to party leaders, ward executives, community leaders, youth and women groups, and other stakeholders for their continued support, which he credited as key to his political journey.
He called on his supporters to remain peaceful and focused throughout the electoral process, emphasizing unity and mutual respect as essential values.
“Our strength has always been in our togetherness, and I am confident that same spirit will guide us again,” he added.
The lawmaker reaffirmed that his priority remains the sustained development of Surulere and contributing to the broader growth of Lagos State.
