Fuad Kayode-Laguda has won the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary for the Surulere 1 seat in the House of Representatives, setting himself on course to succeed former Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila.
The keenly contested election, held Saturday at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, saw Laguda defeat other aspirants to clinch the party’s ticket for the forthcoming by-election.
Gbajabiamila, who previously represented the Lagos constituency, relinquished the seat upon his appointment as Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu in 2023.
Laguda will carry the APC banner in the February 3 by-election.
