Desmond Elliot, who recently released his campaign posters bearing middle name "Olushola", was criticized by Fans for trying to bear and act like a Yoruba Man so he could contest for the 2015 Elections in Lagos State for a seat of House of Assembly Member. Desmond's fans never new he was a Yoruba man because he has never being seen in Yoruba Movies. Desmond Elliot, Speaking with City People, defended himself.
“I am from Lagos state. My father is from Olowogbowo in Lagos Island but my mother is from Delta state. I refer to myself as being a Pan-African. People don’t believe I am a Lagosian because I seldom act in Yoruba movies. And I didn’t include the Shola in my name. Then because my surname is also English, many couldn’t differentiate which made people confused of where exactly I am from. I am very detribalised. People of my constituency know my story and know where I come from. I have always used Shola in my primary school days. I went to Air Force Primary School in Plateau and later attended St John’s College, both in Jos. I proceeded to Lagos State University where I studied Economics and graduated in 2003″
