The actor and politician was called out on Monday, the 26th of October by popular medical doctor and social media influencer, Dr. Olufunmilayo, who informed the public that Desmond Elliot is championing a social media bill to restrict the freedom of speech online.
The actor, refuted this claim immediately with a video to counter the claims on that same day stating all he's asking for is peace on social media. This statement was defeating after the release of the video where he was spotted stating categorically that Nigerian artistes and influencers which he following have to be curbed on social media as they are
Mr. speaker, we need to address something, Nigerian youth, the social media, social influencer, all of these are making the narrative that we are seeing today. Except were joking with ourselves, social media, yes, do good, has its negative impact... when I went through the comments I could not believe it Mr speaker. The curses, the abuses from children and I ask myself,. is this Nigeria? What is going on? Children cursing? people having the effrontery to enter and Oba's palace? hold the staff of office? culture is gone Mr. speaker, in the next five years, there will be no Nigeria if we don't start now.
