Welcome to #SmackDown, @Gunther_AUT. @CodyRhodes runs things on Friday nights! 😤

JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇳🇬 President Trump announces US military and Nigerian forces eliminated ISIS leader Abu-Bilal al-Minuki in Africa.

BREAKING: Trump says US has killed ISIS commander in Nigeria

Noting the recent discussions in Surulere, it appears the individual being considered to take over from @DesmondOElliot has encountered comparable challenges in the past. This situation naturally prompts reflection on why the response seems focused solely on Desmond at this time. A balanced approach would be to apply the same understanding and leniency shown to the other appointee across the board. Bringing compassion into the discussion for all parties involved would help keep the conversation constructive and fair. #DesmondAgain

Egbon, though Barakah wasn't part of the assembly member, but congratulating the new speaker shows she erred has Desmond too! They should all be forgiven and allowed @DesmondOElliot to continue

It seems that the candidate being promoted to replace @DesmondOElliot has faced similar issues. It raises the question of why only Desmond is facing the consequences in Surulere. It would be fair to extend forgiveness to him as well, just like the other appointee. Compassion should be a part of this conversation for everyone involved. #DESMONDAGAIN

DID YOU KNOW? Hon. Nicholas Mutu (PDP) representing Patani/Bomadi Federal Constituency in Delta State is the longest serving member in the @HouseNGR. He was elected in 1999 and is set to begin his 8th term in the incoming 10th @nassnigeria

It appears that the individual being considered to replace @DesmondOElliot has encountered comparable challenges, when we want to judge based on our leader’s yesterday’s video. This situation prompts us to reflect on why it seems that only Desmond is facing consequences in Surulere. It would be only fair to show him the same understanding and forgiveness that we extend to others in similar positions. Compassion should be a fundamental aspect of this discussion, considering the circumstances for everyone involved. They are not trying to stop @DesmondOElliot based on performance but based on political misunderstanding which can be corrected! #DESMONDAGAIN

A Call for Forgiveness, Unity, and Fair Play in Surulere APC Why Hon. Desmond Elliot Deserves a Second Chance Like Every Other Party Member In the spirit of true brotherhood and the progressive ideals that define our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), it is time we extend the same hand of forgiveness and redemption to Hon. Desmond Elliot that we have generously given to others including those now being positioned to take his place. Hon. @DesmondOElliot has served Surulere Constituency I with distinction for 12 solid years. He is not just a lawmaker; he is a performer who has delivered tangible dividends of democracy. From his compendium of achievements, the records speak for themselves: he has sponsored key bills such as the Lagos State Tourism Promotion Agency Law and the Lagos State Public Works Corporation Bill. He has been instrumental in the passage of 32 bills into law, sponsored 11 motions, co-sponsored 42 others, chaired four committees, and served on 12 more. On the ground, he has facilitated over 30 road rehabilitation projects, installed street lights, improved drainage to reduce flooding, enhanced electricity supply through metering and new injection substations, and delivered interventions in health, welfare, sports, entertainment, and environmental sanitation. These are not empty promises – they are the fruits of experience, dedication, and deep knowledge of legislative processes. As he rightly says, “Experience over experiment.” Surulere cannot afford to throw away such proven capacity just to start from scratch. Yet, today, because of one political disagreement his alleged role in the failed 2025 impeachment move against Speaker Mudashiru Obasa some forces within the party are pushing to stop him from continuity. That disagreement, no matter how heated, is an internal party matter that can and should be resolved amicably within the APC family. Politics is not a game of permanent enemies; it is a space for building, reconciliation, and moving forward together. To err is human; to forgive is divine. Hon. Elliot has publicly acknowledged any missteps, describing the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, as his “Egbon” and appealing for understanding. If we truly believe in party unity, this is the moment to forgive and reintegrate, not to punish indefinitely. And let us be consistent. The same grace we are urging for Desmond must apply equally to every other member including the respected aspirant being strongly backed by the COS himself, Barr. Barakat Olawunmi Odunuga-Bakare. She is a capable lawyer, former Special Adviser on Housing, and a loyal party woman who played a key role in the 2023 campaign that delivered victory for President Tinubu, Governor Sanwo-Olu, and yes, even Desmond himself. No one is questioning her right to aspire or her contributions. She deserves her shot, just as Desmond deserves his. But the party must not allow one loyal servant to be sidelined while another is elevated solely on the strength of godfatherly influence. That is not the APC way. True leadership means creating a level playing field where every qualified aspirant – incumbent or challenger – is judged by the people, not by imposition. Chief Femi Gbajabiamila, as the undisputed father figure and unifying leader in Surulere politics, has the power to heal this rift. He has always stood for progress and party cohesion. We appeal to him in the name of the same unity that has kept APC strong: forgive Hon. Desmond Elliot the way others have been forgiven. Let the constituents decide through free, fair, and transparent primaries. Let the best person emerge based on performance, popularity, and vision not on personal scores or external pressure. Surulere APC is bigger than any single disagreement. Our strength lies in our ability to forgive, reconcile, and present a united front ahead of 2027. Desmond Elliot has earned the right to continue serving. He has performed.

Hon Barakah must gbenu si mic🎤 also! But, I believe he is a father to all and he has forgiven everyone of them including Hon Barakah. So, let's continue the good work with @DesmondOElliot

Bro, let’s be fair and consistent. @DesmondOElliot deserves another term because experience matters over experiment. After 12 years, he’s a ranking member who can pull more projects: over 30 roads rehabilitated, serious flood control (no major flooding last year due to constant desilting), healthcare support, electricity improvements via metering and injection substation, street lights, and more. Surulere has seen tangible work not perfection, but steady progress from someone embedded in the system who knows how to deliver. Fresh face sounds nice, but without connections and knowhow, it often becomes learn on the job at our expense. On forgiveness, Barakah was forgiven for whatever role/intrigue. Why not Desmond? He has publicly owned his part in the Obasa saga, explained he acted on wrong info, and moved on. Politics is full of such alignments and realignments Tinubu’s camp forgave others too. If we’re preaching unity and second chances in APCLagos, apply it evenly. Desmond has grassroots support and has served, but don’t punish one while forgiving another. Let the people and primaries decide, not selective anger. Surulere, vote experience! Vote Desmond Elliot🙏

Femi Gbajabiamila Job Loss: 16th January 2025. Barrister Barakat Odunuga Bakare recites the Quran for Rt Hon Mojisola Meranda on a congratulatory visit. In another message, she calls Mojisola Meranda her beautiful blood sister. Party confusion is going on in Surulere.

Rt. Hon. Mudashiru A. Obasa (Agege Constituency I, APC) Served his 6th term in the 10th Assembly (2023–2027); longest-serving member overall (elected since 2007). He was Speaker for multiple terms before recently eyeing a move to the National Assembly Remember Our Dear Hon.Faleke too. Not to mention Hon Yayi since 2003 It's all about performance not vendetta!

🚨 THE US DELEGATION JUST THREW EVERY CHINESE GIFT INTO A TRASH BIN AT THE FOOT OF AIR FORCE ONE. BEFORE BOARDING. IN FULL VIEW OF CAMERAS. The last time a US president's team performed a visible public discard of host-country materials on a tarmac during a major summit, it made front pages for a week — because everyone understood what it meant. – Every gift discarded into ramp-side bins before wheels-up – Every badge, every pin, every commemorative souvenir — gone – Every Chinese-issued phone for staff and press — thrown out – Nothing Chinese-origin was allowed onto the aircraft – Personal devices were placed in Faraday bags for the flight – The action was uniform — staff, press pool, entire delegation – White House security and Secret Service enforced it at the ramp – Trump on camera when asked about spying: "We didn't discuss it because we also spy on them as they do on us" – NY Post White House correspondent Emily Goodin confirmed the account from pool position – Protocol applied at the final controlled window before re-entering US airspace – This matches the identical disposal procedure used by US delegations in China and Russia for years – The trigger: documented counter-intelligence concerns that Chinese-issued electronics carry embedded malware, trackers, or listening devices – This was not improvised. It was pre-planned. Executed at the ramp. In front of cameras. This is the same playbook US delegations have run in Beijing for a generation. The only thing that changed is that someone photographed it this time. Trump arrived with Elon Musk and Jensen Huang. He left with nothing Chinese on the plane. Not a pin. Not a phone. Not a souvenir. Whatever was said in those meetings — the security posture on the way out told you everything about how Washington actually views Beijing when the cameras aren't on the handshake. I'll keep you updated as this unfolds, turn on notifications this is EXTREMELY important. A lot of people will wish they followed me sooner.

The candidate chosen to replace @DesmondOElliot is encountering the same issues, which begs the question: why is Desmond being singled out in Surulere? It’s only just that he receives the same chance for forgiveness as the other appointee. Compassion must be integral to this discussion for all parties involved. #DESMONDAGAIN

In a new video, Desmond Elliot addressed residents of Surulere, telling them it is important for him to run for a fourth term, as he could become a principal officer in the LSHA which would benefit them. He also expressed confidence in his faith, saying that “one with God is a majority,” while urging residents to come out and vote for him on “a straight line.”

Welp that’s all folks 🤷 gunitbrands.com
