Lagos State lawmaker and actor Desmond Elliot has apologised to the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, over his actions during the last APC primary election.
In a video shared on X, Elliot went on his knees and prostrated before Gbajabiamila at a meeting with party chieftains, saying he was “deeply sorry.” Gbajabiamila asked him to get up. The apology follows months of political tension over the Lagos State House of Assembly leadership crisis, which Gbajabiamila had linked to Elliot. Elliot denied the allegation.
Key Points:
Elliot’s public apology signals efforts to mend APC internal divisions.
Gbajabiamila’s acceptance may restore party unity ahead of 2027.
The reconciliation could strengthen APC’s Lagos structure.
Lawmakers face pressure to align with party leadership or risk isolation.
The development may influence future political appointments and primaries.
Elliot’s apology puts his reconciliation attempt on record. Observers should watch whether the gesture ends the political rift or remains symbolic.
