Politician and former Nollywood actor Desmond Elliot has come out as gay.
As readers of Gistcon may remember, Elliot was just identified as one of several prominent Nigerian celebrities accused of homosexuality.
Netizens reacted angrily to the list, which included the names of numerous notable people in the nation.
In an interview that went viral, he denied the claim and said he had better things to do with his time than reply to harmful rumors.
He questioned why he should reply to accusations when doing so would have no effect on his life. Additionally, it is a personal viewpoint that is being formed.
I don’t think it’s important for me to publicly state whether or not it’s true; what matters is that I’m making a positive impact on people. Allow me to make it quite clear: I am straight.
