Desmond Elliot, the lawmaker representing Surulere Constituency I in the Lagos State House of Assembly, has formally declared his intention to seek a fourth term in office
He made the announcement on Thursday during a gathering of supporters held at the Surulere Local Government Secretariat, where he was received by a large crowd.
The declaration, themed “Experience Over Experiment,” was attended by community leaders, youth groups, and various stakeholders across the constituency.
Elliot said the decision to run again followed widespread support from residents and grassroots organisations, including Community Development Associations (CDAs) and local government representatives.
“I am overwhelmed by the support, from the CDAs, the Local Government Area and everywhere. It is fantastic. I am very honoured.
“I am here to officially inform you of my intention to run again for another term at the Lagos State House of Assembly to represent the good people of Surulere Constituency I,” he said.
He further explained that his bid was based on experience and continuity, stressing that his years in office had equipped him with the capacity to deliver more effective representation.
“I have studied up to doctorate level in legislative studies. That means I am well grounded when it comes to legislative matters.
“I have also tried my best in delivering dividends of democracy to my people, and I have shown them the growth that experience brings, which experimentation cannot.
“When you start afresh, it takes years to build. Why waste time when you can consolidate on experience?”
