By Folorunsho Alagbade

Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun has said opposition parties will be invisible during the November 16 local government election in the state.
The Governor boasted that his administration’s performance over the past five years and the quality of candidates the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is presenting in the election would give the party a landslide victory in the 20 LGAs of the state.
The Governor spoke through his Special Adviser on Media and Communications, Kayode Akinmade.
Abiodun maintained that his administration changed the political environment in the state and made it conducive for opposition parties to operate without hindrance or intimidation.
He explained that his administration has outperformed the opposition parties, coming up with innovative development initiatives, rather than using the antiquated machinery of intimidation.
Meanwhile, the Governor urged members of the APC 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 party to beat.
“We have assiduously and consistently made remarkable impacts in the lives 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.”
