Mixed reactions trail actor, Desmond Elliot’s recent donation to his community.

In a bid to stop the further spread of the corona virus disease,  actor cum politician, Desmond Elliot provided custom buckets and water to serve members of his constituency and Nigerians are not having it.

“So we constructed a makeshift cleansing mechanism, where passerby’s or people entering streets could wash their hands with soap and water and also sanitize before entering the streets -pilot works can be seen in these areas. It was located across the environments. Olodeokuta, Ojuelegbe both sides, love garding, Hugan Bassy, Masha bus stop, Shirts bus stop, Adelabu, Iponri, Bode Thomas and ishaga road. He wrote on his Instagram page.

The post has generated mixed reactions from the public, with many branding the project as ridiculous, embarrassing and poor efforts from a figure that promised so much.
