Lagos State Governorship Candidate of the Action Alliance, Mr Tope Balogun, on Tuesday said that he had not slept in house in the past one year due to his political ambition.
In an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos, the 40-year-old politician said that he sacrificed the comfort of sleeping in his house to enable him to study Lagos State well to be able to proffer solutions to its problems, if elected.
Balogun said that the commercial nerve centre deserved such a sacrifice.
He said that his team had studied the state and identified challenges facing the masses and was ready to bring succour to the residents if elected the governor on Saturday.
According to him, his Rebirth Agenda will end hardship in the state.
“All these things (challenges facing the people of the state), we have studied, and are committed to tackling them.
“For the past one year, I have not slept in my house because of this project.
“It is not because I don’t have a house to sleep in, but this project is one that needs sacrifices, it is a project that we are determined to execute if Lagos residents give us the mandate,” he said.

On his chances of winning the governorship poll scheduled for Saturday, Balogun said that Action Alliance had strategies that would grant him victory.
“We are more focused. We will deploy our strength.
“I am going to win this election by God’s grace. We are going to deploy the last part of our strategies,” the computer scientist said.
Balogun, who described himself as the face of the new order in Lagos State, said that he had been in politics for more than two decades.
The Lagos State Secretary of the defunct Congress of Progressive Change and member of the interim executive of the All Progressives Congress in Lagos State, said that he was not seeking the topmost seat in the state to enrich himself.
“We saw that things were not actually going the way they should,” he said.
