Fuad Kayode-Laguda is among the rising political figures from Nigeria’s younger generation, and his breakthrough to national prominence is highly anticipated. All eyes are on him, filled with hope and excitement.
The departure of Femi Gbajabiamila, former Speaker of the House of Representatives and current Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, has left a vacant honourable position. Many political analysts believe that Kayode-Laguda is the likely successor, representing Surulere 1 Federal Constituency in Lagos.
With the departure of influential leaders like Gbajabiamila, the opportunity arises for promising individuals like Kayode-Laguda to step up and lead. His acceptance of this challenge and commitment to political service have earned him respect and admiration from many quarters.
Kayode-Laguda is a familiar name. He served diligently in the Lagos State Internal Revenue Service (LIRS) for 13 years, earning remarkable merits as a tax administrator. His exceptional career trajectory caught the attention of Babatunde Fowler, who later became a prominent figure in the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS). Serving as Fowler’s Personal Assistant in LIRS, Kayode-Laguda maintained a spotless record.
His notable achievements position Kayode-Laguda as the potential winner of the by-election for the Surulere 1 Federal Constituency seat on August 19, 2023. If successful, it will affirm the people’s trust in him and foreshadow his significant contributions in the years ahead.
As Kayode-Laguda gains momentum and attention on the national stage, the weight of expectations rests upon his shoulders. The emerging political figure from the younger generation is perceived as a beacon of hope and potential change for Nigeria’s political landscape.
