Tension in Anambra as Soludo issues fresh threat to Peter Obi, gives him ultimatum

Chukwuma Soludo, the governor of Anambra state, has threatened Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of Labour Party, that his posters and billboards in the state would be defaced if he failed to clear the debts on them.

According to The Nation, other political parties and candidates would also be affected if they failed to pay up the debts.

The Anambra state signage and advertising agency (ANSAA) said in a statement.

Tony Ujubuonu, the MD/CEO of ANSAA who signed the statement on Sunday, November 20, warned that the government would embark on defacing billboards and posters of political parties and candidates who have failed to pay the agency.

According to the agency, the enforcement of the order would commence on November 5, 2022.

The statement reads in part: “Some political party candidates are erecting billboards on their own ignorantly. The Agency wants to state that this is not only wrong but illegal and any such billboard would be brought down without any notice, the structure seized permanently and auctioned."

Recall that the Anambra governor recently accused Obi's supporters of posting posters and erecting billboards in the state without government approval.
