Desmond Eliott, Explains Why He didn’t use my Yoruba name before now

Veteran Nigerian actor, Director and aspiring politician — Desmond Elliot is among
the fore runners of the several entertainers eyeing political
offices ahead of the 2015 general elections.
Just a couple of months ago, he declared his intention to
represent Surulere Constituency 1 at the Lagos State House
of Assembly under the All Progressives Congress, and in a
recent Twitter quiz with his fans, the 40-year old actor who
before now was not really known as a Lagos State indigene,
confessed he is now a night crawler because of politics.
The actor revealed that he has never been a night crawler
all his life but that politics has changed that to a large
extent.
When asked why he had not been using his Yoruba name,
Olusola since hitting limelight, the actor explained that he
had to use his English name for 'professional reasons.'
Speaking with City People on his reasons for joining
politics, he explained that joining politics for him is an
ambition he had nursed for many years but only joined at
a time he considers the most appropriate time to declare
his intention.
'Politics has been in me for many years but I wanted a
party which was progressive. My choice of APC was
because its stronger and progressive. The party is one you
can identify with. This is also a good platform and a good
party. It has lots of PROGRAMS that cater for people's
welfare. It has so much differentiated itself from all others.
This is one of the reasons why I decided to join the party,'
he explained.
