APC’s Laguda wins Surulere bye-election

Fuad Laguda, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has won the Saturday’s by-election in Surulere Federal Constituency I, Lagos.

Adeola Adebanjo of the Labour Party and Jerry Afemighie of the Peoples Democratic Party, the primary contenders, failed to pose a significant challenge to Laguda’s electoral ambitions.

The vacancy in the seat arose when Femi Gbajabiamila resigned to assume the role of Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu.
