Nollywood actor turned politician, Desmond Elliot has been called out over his ‘makeshift cleansing’ project in Surulere, the constituency he represents in Lagos State House of Assembly.
Desmond Elliot who shared photos of some Lagosians using his “makeshift cleansing mechanism” on Instagram, disclosed they are sited at “Olodeokuta, Ojuelegba, Love Garden, Hugan Bassey, Masha bus stop, Shirts bus stop, Adelabu, Iponri, Bode Thomas and Ishaga Road”.
He wrote;
So we constructed a makeshift cleansing mechanism, where passerby’s or people entering streets could wash their hands with soap and water and also sanitize before entering the streets -pilot works can be seen in these areas
It was located across the environments. Olodeokuta, Ojuelegbe both sides, love garding, Hugan Bassy, Masha bus stop, Shirts bus stop, Adelabu, Iponri, Bode Thomas and ishaga road
However, some social media users who reacted to photos of the project the lawmaker proudly showed off, described it as an “embarassment”.

Truth be told this is exactly where NIGERIA is at. Surulere is not VI. The world has changed overnight. The world we knew just few months ago (2019) I’m doubting we can see again. Yes this cleansing project might look basic, hideous, and very embarrassing, but if it saves just 1 person from getting this virus or worse still dying from it then it has been successful. Let everybody do the little they can in their own way. Everybody STAY SAFELike this! 22Dislike this! 1Reply

LMFAO, what I don’t understand is that, if I use my “infected hands to open the tap – infection is on the tap head – then I wash heaven and earth, and then use thesame hand to close the tap, am I not still at risk????? In 2020, this is what a man that has travelled the world can bring to his people, like as if it was 1959 …. I weep for this country and its politicians …,Like this! 38Dislike this! 0Reply

I will not blame the young man for treating his constituency people like black slaves of 1940 in America’s Misissipi. I have always said the man lacks foresight and intellectual depth. I showed it to my wife days back at Masha roundabout. She looked at it for a few minutes, shook her head and sat quiet in the car throughout the drive home.Like this! 1Dislike this! 2Reply
