Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has said that his administration’s performance in the last five years has rendered opposition parties clearly unpopular and invisible in Saturday’s local government election in the state
Abiodun said that the quality of candidates the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is presenting in the election would give the party landslide victory in all the 20 local government areas.
The governor, who spoke through his Special Adviser on Media and Communications, Hon. Kayode Akinmade, over the weekend, said that his administration had changed the hitherto volatile political environment in the state and made it conducive for opposition parties to operate without hindrance or intimidation.
He said that instead of the primordial machinery of intimidation, his administration had dwarfed the opposition parties in the state through sterling performance and creative ideas for development.
Abiodun urged APC members in the state to show more commitment and work in harmony to sustain the feats already attained in the past years and ensure resounding victory during the November 16 local government poll.
He said, “With the quality of candidates our party is presenting in the forthcoming local government election in the state, APC remains a part to beat. We have assiduously and consistently made remarkable impacts in the life of our people and this is indeed our selling point.
“Without going through the primordial route of physical intimidation of opposition parties, our administration has obviously silenced them by our intimidating projects, creative ideas and prudence, which have earned us a leading status among other federating units.
“It is now incumbent on every APC member across the 20 local government areas to sustain the enviable feats our party have recorded in the last five years by showing more commitment and work in unison for the victory of our party come November 16,” Abiodun said.
