Lagos lawmaker and actor Desmond Elliot has raised alarm over alleged intimidation ahead of the APC direct primaries in Surulere.
In a video posted on X on May 17, 2026, he thanked President Bola Tinubu and the APC leadership for approving direct primaries but accused some party and local government officials of using intimidation, coercion, and threats to force support for a preferred aspirant.
He said some of his supporters working with Surulere Local Government had been sacked, others threatened with loss of benefits, and his own security detail withdrawn.
He urged members to stay calm and vote freely on May 20, insisting that everyone deserves a fair process since they belong to the same party.
