Femi Gbajabiamila, the Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu and former Speaker of the House of Representatives, has thrown his weight behind Fuad Laguda, endorsing him as the ideal successor for the Surulere 1 Federal Constituency in the upcoming re-run election.
The endorsement took place during an empowerment programme organised by Gbajabiamila in Lagos, where over 50 vehicles were distributed to beneficiaries. Addressing attendees, Gbajabiamila expressed his support for Laguda, emphasising the need for a representative capable of carrying forward the constituency’s progress.
“In the impending re-run election, Surulere will choose its representative for the House of Representatives. While all aspirants are part of my political family, I believe Fuad Laguda stands out as the best choice. He has my endorsement, as well as that of the governor and party elders,” Gbajabiamila stated.
Drawing on his extensive legislative experience, Gbajabiamila emphasised Laguda’s capability to uphold Surulere’s achievements. “After over 20 years in the House of Representatives, I know the qualities needed for effective legislating. Laguda embodies those traits and can continue Surulere’s progress.”
Encouraging residents to vote for APC in the re-run election, Gbajabiamila emphasised the party’s commitment to delivering tangible dividends of democracy.
The Chief of Staff underscored the significance of the empowerment program, aiming to positively impact Surulere’s populace and express gratitude for their unwavering support over the years. He reassured attendees that his current role wouldn’t hinder his connection with the people.
APC Chairman in Lagos State, Mr. Cornelius Ojelabi, commended Gbajabiamila for the empowerment initiative, highlighting the Chief of Staff’s genuine concern for the welfare of Surulere residents. Ojelabi urged voters to align with APC, citing Gbajabiamila’s contributions and advocating for the continuation of developmental projects.
