‘Forgiveness Is Divine, Please Forgive Me’ – Desmond Elliot Begs Youths

Desmond Oluwashola Elliot, the Lagos State House of Assembly candidate under the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has tendered a public apology to all for his ‘inconsiderate’ comments about the youths during the ENDSARS protest in October 2020.

This Online News Media gathered that the Lagos lawmaker was dragged on social media, particularly on Twitter after being accused of referring to youths as children while pushing for the regulation of social media.

In an interview with the TVC, Elliot said he wasn’t referring to all youths on social media as children but those who were cursing Lagos Speaker Mudashiru Obasa.

He however asked the youths to forgive him, adding that going back to bring out those sensitive moments would do anything.

He said: “What I can say is, I think forgiveness is divine. I mean, o one owns it all. Something can be your truth and to another person, it might not be. I don’t think going back to bring out those sensitive moments would do anything.

“I think at the end of the day, I apologised for, and I’m still apologising to those who must have misconstrued what I said. I said I was taken by emotions but in the end, it still didn’t take away from the fact that the hatred is too much. The polity, the hatred is too much. We are all built on love. We can change things by love.”
