In a dramatic scene that left political observers stunned, Mr. Bless, the Director General of the Desmond Elliot 4th Term Campaign Organisation, publicly withdrew support for the incumbent lawmaker at the declaration ceremony of Barrister Barakat Odunuga Bakare, announcing his full defection and support for the latter.
The announcement, made right on the declaration ground, was met with thunderous applause from supporters gathered at the event, as Mr. Bless stepped forward to openly align himself with Barrister Barakat Odunuga Bakare’s campaign.
The atmosphere at Barrister Barakat Odunuga Bakare’s declaration ceremony was electric following the announcement, with the crowd interpreting Mr. Bless’s presence as a powerful statement that change is coming to the constituency.
As of the time of filing this report, the Desmond Elliot Campaign Organisation was yet to respond to the development.
