Popular Nollywood artist turned politician, Desmond Elliot, has denied gay allegation laid against him.
Reacting to his inclusion in a recent post that named list of top Nigerian celebrities alleged to engaged in homosexuality, Elliot in an interview with TVC debunked the allegation, labelling it as baseless.
The Lagos lawmaker described the claim as a mere opinion which should not have deserved his response.
He, however, clarified that his straight and never indulge in homosexuality.
“Why would I respond to allegations made against me when it did not reduce or increase my life?
“Secondly, it is an opinion that is being conceived. And I don’t think it is necessary for me to come out and say it’s true or not true; as long as I’m affecting people positively, I’m good. So let me state it very clearly that I am straight.” Elliot said.
