First runner-up at the 2010 edition of Mr Nigeria, Alex Ekubo, has joined entertainers to have endorsed Desmond Elliot's political ambition in 2015.

Desmond Elliot, a prominent actor in Nigeria, won the ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Lagos State House of Assembly.

The actor-cum-movie director will contest in the election hoping to represent Surulere Constituency 01 in the hollowed chamber.

Alex Ekubo, also an actor, posted the campaign picture of his fellow actor and wrote, "evil triumphs, when good men do nothing."
