Popular Nollywood actor and member of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Desmond Elliot, has finally reacted to the rumour making the rounds that “he is a gay”.
The Lagos lawmaker, speaking in an interview with TVC recently, said he has more important issues to focus on than responding to unsubstantiated rumours.
He said: “Why would I respond to allegations made against me when it did not reduce or increase my life?”
“Secondly, it is an opinion that is being conceived. And I don’t think it is necessary for me to come out and say it’s true or not true; as long as I’m affecting people positively, I’m good.”
“So let me state it very clearly that I am straight.”
For those who don’t know, Desmond Elliot was among the top Nigerian celebrities listed allegedly involved in homosexuality.
The internet has been agog since the alleged list involving prominent Nigerian figures surfaced online.
