With about three weeks to February 3, 2024, scheduled for the bye-election in Surulere 1 Federal Constituency of Lagos State, frontline parties – the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), the Labour Party (LP) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have all shown readiness to battle at the polls for the replacement of the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila.
Gbajabiamila, who represented Surulere 1 Federal Constituency in the lower house of the National Assembly for 20 years, tendered his resignation letter on the floor of the House on June 14, 2023 to resume work as the Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu.
