Nigerian actor Femi Branch has claimed that Desmond Elliot’s positive contributions as a politician often go unnoticed due to a lack of proper publicity.
Elliot, a Lagos State House of Assembly member, has frequently come under fire on X for his remarks and actions as a politician.
In an interview with Nollywood on Radio shared on YouTube on Sunday, Branch commended Elliot’s performance as a politician, insisting that his efforts deserve recognition.
He pointed out that Elliot struggles with inadequate publicity, which causes many of his contributions to his constituency to go unrecognised.
The actor suggested that Elliot’s contributions might be overlooked because his superiors in politics often receive credit for his efforts.
“I want to praise Desmond Elliot because he has been the actor who has been consistent with politics,” he said.
“I think the problem Desmond has had over the time is probably poor PR because I know a lot of things that he is doing in the constituency.
There is also the possibility that his case is the case of being under a boss on the political ladder. So when you do something, they don’t give you credit for it. Rather, they give it to the boss.
“I would tell you that Desmond is doing very well.”
In February, Elliot faced backlash online for handing out perfumes to his constituents during the Surulere I by-election.
Back in 2020, he was also criticised for allegedly supporting social media regulation, despite previously distancing himself from the issue.
