My decision was one of statesmanship and restraint—not a concession, withdrawal, or surrender of my candidacy. It is therefore misleading and inaccurate for anyone to interpret or portray my remarks as stepping down from the race. I, Desmond Elliott,remain committed to democratic principles, the rule of law, and the mandate freely given to me by the overwhelming majority of my supporters across Surulere Constituency 1.m We call on party members, stakeholders, and the general public to disregard false narratives and remain focused on the need for transparency, fairness, and justice in the electoral process. At this critical moment, it is imperative that the integrity of the primary election process be upheld and that every legitimate supporter and delegate is allowed to participate freely, without intimidation or obstruction.
