Nollywood actor and former Lagos lawmaker Desmond Elliot has publicly apologised to his political mentor, Femi Gbajabiamila, following months of political tension between them.
In a video making the rounds online, Elliot is seen kneeling and pleading for forgiveness, while appealing to be welcomed back into the APC political fold in Lagos.
The rift reportedly followed disagreements over the Surulere Constituency I seat after the Lagos APC leadership backed Barakat Odunuga-Bakare instead of Elliot for another term.
Elliot later withdrew from the APC primary amid claims of political pressure and hinted at contesting under another platform.
In his apology, Elliot said no political ambition or disagreement was worth destroying a relationship built on years of trust, guidance and shared commitment.
He reaffirmed his loyalty to the APC and commitment to the development of Surulere, Lagos and Nigeria.
