 Desmond Elliot Apologises to Gbajabiamila, Seeks Return to APC

Lagos State House of Assembly member, Desmond Elliot, has apologised to the Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, Femi Gbajabiamila, following disagreements arising from the recent All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election in Lagos.

Elliot was reportedly seen in a video circulating on social media kneeling before Gbajabiamila and pleading for forgiveness, while also seeking to be reintegrated into the APC fold in Lagos.

“I’m sorry, I have no excuse, I have nothing other than to say I’m deeply sorry and I am hoping to be cultured in the future,” Elliot said in the video.

The apology comes against the backdrop of a dispute between Elliot and the APC leadership following the party’s primary election for the Surulere Constituency I seat held in May.

Elliot had withdrawn from the primary, alleging intimidation and political pressure against his supporters. He subsequently rejected the outcome and indicated that he would challenge the process through the party’s appeal mechanism.

He later lost the APC ticket to Barakat Odunuga-Bakare, who was widely reported to have the backing of Gbajabiamila.

Odunuga-Bakare reportedly secured 11,385 votes, while Elliot polled 270 votes in the primary.

Elliot’s latest move is seen as an attempt to mend ties with the party leadership and restore his relationship with key political stakeholders ahead of subsequent political engagements.

By Nformi Desmond

The Special Adviser to the Taraba State Governor on Christian Religion Matters, Very Rev. Fr. Sunday Patrick Muke, has called on Christians to embrace forgiveness, mercy and peaceful coexistence.

Fr. Muke made the call in his Sunday message, reflecting on the Gospel of Matthew 18:21–35, which highlights the importance of forgiveness and the need to show mercy to others.

He said Christians should not place limits on forgiveness, stressing that God also forgives those who turn to Him with sincere hearts.

According to him, while forgiveness may not always be easy, it helps people overcome anger and bitterness and promotes peace, love and unity in society.

Fr. Muke urged Christians to let go of resentment and the desire for revenge, and to make forgiveness a part of their daily lives.

He encouraged the faithful to show mercy, promote peace and live in harmony with others, regardless of differences.

The cleric prayed for God's grace for Christians to forgive others as they have been forgiven by God.

He wished Christians a peaceful and blessed Sunday.
