Reps candidate to replace Gbajabiamila visits Tinubu
President Bola Tinubu received the APC House of Representatives hopeful for Surulere 1 federal constituency, Lagos, Mr. Fuad Laguda at the Presidential Villa on Wednesday.
Fuad is to replace Hon. Gbajabiami who resigned as the representative of Surulere 1 federal constituency after his appointment as the Chief of staff to president Bola Tinubu.
According to Vanguard newspaper, a source from the presidency, who spoke in confidence, said “The President on Wednesday received his kinsman, Fuad Laguda from Lagos where he admonished him to make the people of Surulere and Lagos proud just as the former Surulere representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila did, he said his chief of staff represented the constituency well.”
“The President acknowledges Laguda as a tax and finance expert who has cut his teeth in grassroots politics in the state while he emphasized that Laguda must reach out to all stakeholders for support.”
He also advised Mr. Laguda to campaign very well and bring victory home to the APC whenever INEC reschedules the election.
Mr. Laguda is said to have the support of majority of APC members and residents of the Surulere area of Lagos.
The Independent National Electoral Commission had issued an earlier notice of election to political parties for the bye-election into Surulere 1 federal constituency, Lagos, among other constituencies. The election is scheduled for 19th August, 2023
