Lagos lawmaker and actor Desmond Elliot apologises to Femi Gbajabiamila, the President’s Chief of Staff, seeking reconciliation following tensions tied to the last All Progressives Congress (APC) primary in Lagos. Footage shared on social media shows Elliot kneeling and prostrating before Gbajabiamila during a meeting with party leaders, with Elliot saying he has “no excuse” and asking not to be angry.
In the video, Gbajabiamila urges him to stand up. Elliot acknowledges that he may have been misguided during the primaries and reiterates respect for Gbajabiamila, describing him as a political mentor. The reports also note that this apology comes after an earlier one Elliot made on TVC’s Your View, where he said any misunderstanding was unintentional and reaffirmed commitment to APC unity and constituency development.
Across the outlets, the core details remain consistent: Elliot’s public apology is tied to APC primary events and is aimed at mending relations with Gbajabiamila. One outlet adds that the reconciliation plays out amid lingering internal APC tensions, including references to alleged reports and subsequent party interventions to cool the situation.
