Not too young to run, not too young to run

Boom!

The very young Desmond Elliot commissions this toilet as constituency project.

Lesson: Don't give positions of authority to people based on their age. Age, whether old or young, isn't one of the characteristics of a good leader. pic.twitter.com/hVrREyL5KD

People like Desmond Elliot is the big part of the reason we doubt these new generational not too young to run politicians. They are mostly younger versions of the old ones. Man is smiling and commissioning toilet.

Very toxic, horrid and vile people on Twitter. Quick to pull others down.

Desmond Elliot didn't build the toilet..It was donated to his constituency in conjunction with the Australian high commision.

Why the eagerness to pull the man down? pic.twitter.com/4K1BjRq451

One would have thought Desmond Elliot would do better but here we are.

Why is Desmond Elliot commissioning a toilet? Please can someone tell our leaders in power that you mustn't commission every damn thing. We really set the bar so low for these guys that even the so called younger generation is taking a cue from them

When Desmond Elliot was campaigning then I supported him but till now how many of you have heard of him or what he has done for the youth. Even common community match he didn’t organize

Whenever we say youths being in government will bring better change, I'm always skeptical. Just look at Yahaya Bello – a nuisance. Then look at Desmond Elliot – you would have thought he'll have better sense. Commissioning a toilet? The world has left us behind.

We wanted not too young to run bill

We wanted more youths in governance

APC gave us Yahaya Bello and Desmond Elliot the toilet commissioner.

We have the power to throw APC and Desmond Elliot into that toilet with our PVC's
