Peter Obi’s Billboards Pulled Down In Anambra (PHOTOS)

Some of Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi’s billboards in Anambra have been removed.

The action was taken in response to Obi’s alleged inability to pay the State Government.

The Anambra Signage and Advertising Agency (ANSAA) removed billboards from strategic locations in some areas over the weekend.

LP, on the other hand, accused Governor Charles Soludo of ordering the removal of the billboards for ulterior motives.

One of the party’s chieftains, who did not want to be named, told The Nation that ANSAA had removed Obi and Umeh’s large billboard at the Unizik temporary Site Flyover on Saturday.

He said: “The billboard at UNIZIK Temporary Site Junction was today( Saturday ) removed on the orders of Soludo.

“The advert which was placed by an APCON registered Advertising Agency was fully paid for.

“Soludo said that he does not want Labour Party advert on such a strategic place and ordered the Anambra Signage Agency to refund the money it received for the advert.

“He also ordered the removal of the Labour Party advert at the Afor Nnobi Gantry. This advert has been there since October, 2022 and was paid for five months.”

The billboards were removed, according to ANSAA Managing Director Tony Ujubuonu.

He stated that one of the LP billboards was removed on Saturday, but not on Soludo’s orders.

Ujubuonu said: “Whatever that was removed was as a result of a challenge we had with the agent that erected the board.

” First and foremost is that the bridge you are talking about was having a Labour Party billboard. If you recall in August, we sent out a message to all political parties to pay up their campaign fees.

“There was a lot of hullabaloo about it. None of them has paid their own. So most of the parties that have not paid theirs that have adverts on government assets were removed. It has nothing to do with the governor.

“Governor didn’t give any order. If they said they paid, the campaign fees, let them give me any evidence, I should know, I’m the ANSAA MD.

“They didn’t pay the campaign fees and we spoke to their media heads several times; we informed them about the enforcement, and they haven’t paid it so we decided to take down the advert.

” It has nothing to do with the Governor. Anybody that tells you anything about the Governor and the billboard is telling you lies.”

He stated that when the billboard was removed, the government reimbursed the advertising agency that placed it.

“The money was refunded to the agency who owned the board not to the client. We don’t deal directly with the Labour Party, we deal with the advertising agency that mounted the board,” the ANSAA MD stressed.
