Actor-turned-politician Desmond Elliot has said his political career has been guided by service and not personal enrichment.
The lawmaker representing Surulere Constituency I in the Lagos State House of Assembly made the remarks during an interview on Morayo Brown’s programme, where he reflected on leadership, governance and his experience in politics.
Elliot urged politicians to remain mindful of the temporary nature of power and public office.
“We will all die one day. We are not here forever,” he said.
“This I am saying to all of us politicians, we are not here forever. You were in that particular place for a reason, not because you are better than the next person. Trust me, there are way better people than you.”
