Ahead of the Saturday’s bye-election for House of Representatives, Surulere federal constituency of Lagos State, the All Progressives Congress (APC) Professionals Council has thrown its weight behind the candidate of their party, Fuad Kayode Laguda.
The council assured Lagos electorate that he would build on the legacy of the immediate-past representative, Femi Gbajabiamila who was appointed by President Bola Tinubu as Chief of Staff.
The Lagos State vice chairman of the council, Dayo Decker who stated this when led a house to house campaign that has continued in the last two weeks in the constituency said the campaign is in line with the directive of the National Director General, Dr. Seyi Bamigbade in order to secure victory for APC in the election.
Decker said Bamigbade is of the firm belief that going by the excellent track record the APC has left in the federal constituency in the last 20 years that Gbajabiamila represented it, it is not in doubt that the people will renew their mandate.
He quoted Bamigbade as saying, “We are not losing sleep in this election. The people know those who have served them right in the past 20 years and those who have no presence in our state.
“We are proud of the legacy left behind by Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila in the area of infrastructure, human capital development, youth empowerment and many other indices of development.
“Come Saturday they will vote for continuity, they will vote for accelerated development and a secure future for their children”.
The council said a vote for Laguda is a vote for an effective health system, education, care for the elderly, good infrastructure and empowerment.
