Olumide Oworu, a Nollywood actor, is set to compete with his senior colleague, Desmond Elliott, to represent Surulere Constituency in the Lagos House of Assembly.

Desmond Elliott has served two terms in office and is considering running for a third.

However, he now faces a challenger for his seat in the Lagos State House of Assembly, Surulere Constituency.

Olumide Oworu, his junior colleague, has expressed interest in running for his position. He posted a flyer and a lengthy post announcing his intention to run for Desmond Elliott’s seat.

Olumide, who desires change, revealed his passion for youths and service to Nigerians in his official statement announcing his declaration.

“It is with a sense of honour and duty that I announce my candidacy for membership of The Lagos State House of Assembly – Surulere Constituency 1 on the platform of The Labour Party. The youth of this generation in Nigeria are more politically aware than ever and are now striving to have our voices heard and take part in the government process of this great country. As someone with a passion for youth development, it is on this note that I tender myself in service to play my part in the actualization of an all inclusive government, where the young Nigerian intellectuals have a chance to make a change by being a part of the move for the creation of a new Nigeria. Thank you for your support. A new Nigeria is POssible.”

Interestingly, many celebrities seem to be on his side as they flooded his comment section hailing him.
