The chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos state, Cornelius Ojelabi, has congratulated Fuad Laguda on his victory in the Surulere federal constituency by-election.
Ojelabi said Laguda’s victory is a testament to the support and trust the people have in the party.
He urged the new parliamentarian to translate the people’s trust in him into positive action.
He said: “I congratulate you and all the people of Surulere Federal Constituency I on this victory. This victory should swing you to work immediately. Please prioritise the overall interest of the people who elected you beyond personal interests.
“I also thank all the party hierarchy for their support and prayers all through the journey. Our party will always remember all your sacrifices by ensuring that it continues to make life comfortable by providing the dividends of democracy which is the peak of good governance to its members.

“Your victory carries the hopes of many who believe that the legacy you met shall be sustained by you, and I urge you to make positive impacts on the lives of the people.”
The APC professional council, in a congratulatory message by its national director-general, Seyi Bamigbade, said Laguda’s victory is an indication of the people’s satisfaction with the APC’s leadership.
According to Bamigbade, the victory is an indication that the people are happy with the party’s track record in the state. He was confident that Laguda would justify the mandate given him by entrenching effective performance as the people’s representative.
The council also passed a vote of confidence in President Bola Tinubu and his economic blueprint, hoping that the economic challenges facing the country will soon be forgotten.
It appealed to governors to make more efforts towards wealth creation ‘so that prosperity will trickle down to the grassroots and improve the people’s living standards’
