Former Secretary of the Lagos Chapter of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Abdurrazaq Balogun, has joined the gubernatorial race on the platform of Action Alliance (AA).

He promised to bring an electoral evolution and equity that would naturally compel the All Progressives Congress (APC) to hand over power to an AA candidate.

Balogun, who expressed confidence in emerging as flagbearer of his party, said that his plan was not to go violent with the APC and other parties, but that the state would be governed after the 2023 election by an AA candidate, particularly himself after the party must have polled more votes than others vying to administer Lagos.

The gubernatorial aspirant, while unveiling his Lagos Rebirth Agenda, stressed that the ideology does not only cover the election but also entails Lagosians’ needs and how the masses could become more comfortable in the state.

He disclosed that the equity in his agenda was basically to bring about a better Lagos that would work for all irrespective of background.

The Epe indigene also said that before declaring his intention to contest, a thorough evaluation of Lagos was done and that all that was discovered affecting the state was that the state needed to be restructured to work for all and sundry.
