The appointment of Gbajabiamila as Chief of Staff to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has created a vacuum as his seat would be vacant in the lower chamber.
They are a former acting Chairman of Surulere Local Government, Agboola Dabiri; two-term former member of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Kabir Lawal popularly called Caesar; and Laguda.
“We did the mock primary yesterday (Sunday) and Laguda was unanimously nominated as candidate to represent the party. We decided on Laguda because he has the experience as a seasoned politician and also an accomplished public servant,” he said.
The publicity secretary of APC in the state, Hon. Seye Oladejo, however said the party would still follow due process in selecting a candidate and assured that the candidate would be someone committed to the ideals of progressive politics.
