Nigerian actor cum politician Desmond Elliot has responded to criticisms by a section of Nigerians who dragged him on social media for supporting the passing of the anti-social media bill in the Lagos State House of Assembly.
This comes after a Twitter influencer made an unfounded allegation that Desmond Elliot, a member of the Lagos State House of Representatives pushed for a bill against social media to be passed.
According to Desmond Elliot in a video posted on his verified Instagram page, he denied ever supporting the agenda whatsoever and slammed the Twitter Influencer for not verifying the claims before tweeting about it.
He captioned the video and it reads,
FALSE FALSE FALSE
I never said that
No bill to that effect
No house of Assembly can develop such a bill
