It Was Not Everybody – Desmond Elliot Discloses Those He Referred To As Children During The #ENDSARS Protest

Veteran actor and politician, Desmond Elliot has finally disclosed those he was referring to as children during the #ENDSARS protest in October 2020.

According to the politician, his statement was not directed at all the Nigerian youths but a group of teenagers who were attacking the Speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly,  Musashiru Obasa, on his tweeter handle.

The lawmaker, who begged for forgiveness, said the hatred he has received on the heels of the comment was too much.

Recall that the Elliot was dragged on social media after being accused of referring to youths as children while pushing for the regulation of social media.

However, in an interview on TVC’s ‘Your View’, Elliot insisted he wasn’t referring to all youths on social media as children but those who were cursing Mudashiru Obasa.

He said:“I wasn’t referring to everybody as children. It was the people that were on my Mr. Speaker’s handle, that were talking to Mr. Speaker, I was referring to, and not everybody. And truly, they were teenagers, when I clicked on those who were cursing at Mr. Speaker. And that’s exactly what I said. But I’m sorry again.

“That’s what politics teaches you. You must learn. You must! You can never be prideful. You can never buga in politics. Who you be? So, you must humble yourself. If you wan buga, go inside your gym and get weight. Lose weight when you’re outside. Lose it!”
