It’s something I’ve been begging Him (God) for a long time and now the opportunity has come.So , with God’s help and hard work, we will succeed.” Continuing, Desmond said, “I look forward to a successful tenure, providing social amenities best way I can for my constituency: representing them well in the house and making sure that Nollywood which is also my constituency thrives as far as Lagos State is concerned.

I will still be making films, but not as an actor because I am representing people’s interest. I have to be very careful about what I do now,” he said.
