APC Professionals Council has congratulated the Fuad Laguda on his election victory in the Surulere Federal constituency of Lagos State held on Saturday. 

 

 

The council in a congratulatory message signed by its National Director General, Dr. Seyi Bamigbade said Laguda’s election landslide victory in the election is an indication of the people’s satisfaction with the leadership of the party.

 

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had on Saturday declared Laguda winner of the Saturday’s bye-election after he polled a total of 11,203 votes to defeat his closest opponent, Jerry Afemikhe of the Peoples Democratic Party, who garnered 278 votes

 

Laguda will replace  Rt. Hon Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu who had resigned his membership of the tenth National Assembly to take up the appointment.

 

 

According to Bamigbade,  the victory of the party’s candidate is an indication that the people of Lagos are happy with the track record of APC in the state and the enviable antecedents of the former representative of the constituency, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila.

 

He expressed confidence that Laguda will justify the mandate of the people of the constituency by entrenching effective performance as the people’s representative.

 

The Council also passed vote of confidence on President Bola Tinubu and his economic blueprint, expressing hope that the economic challenges facing the country will soon be a thing of the past as the policies being put in place to create wealth, generate employment and alleviate poverty will soon be on their full swing.

 

It also appealed to governors in the states to make more efforts towards wealth creation so that prosperity will trickle down to the grassroot andimprove the living standards of the people.
