Anambra pulls down Peter Obi’s bill boards over alleged debt

Some of the billboards of Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi in Anambra have been pulled down.

The action was carried out over the alleged inability of Obi to pay the State Government.

The bill boards mounted in strategic positions in some areas were removed by the Anambra Signage and Advertising Agency (ANSAA) at the weekend.

But LP accused Governor Charles Soludo of ordering removal of the bill boards for ulterior motives. .

One of the chieftains of the party, who does not want to be quoted, told The Nation that Obi and Umeh’s large billboard at the Unizik temporary Site Flyover were pulled down on Saturday by ANSAA.

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.”

A total of 307,394 potential voters have yet to collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) in Cross River, INEC’s spokesperson in the state, Tonia Nwobi, said in Calabar on Thursday.

Mrs Nwobi said that refusal to collect the cards could lead to voter apathy at the 2023 general elections.

She explained that 97,381 cards were produced for voters in Cross River in 2019, but only 8,045 PVCs were collected.

She added that of the 233,481 potential voters who registered for PVCs in Cross River in 2021/2022, only 68,073 persons turned up to collect the cards.

Of the 70,474 voters who transferred their voting points to Cross River, only 17, 824 persons collected their new cards leaving 52,650 cards uncollected.

Mrs Nwobi appealed to political parties and civil society organisations to join hands with INEC to sensitise the electorate about the need to collect the cards.

She expressed regret that in spite of the fact that INEC took the cards to local governments and wards for ease of collection, their owners remained adamant.

“Our challenge is that people are not coming out enough in spite of the sensitisation through the media and through other stakeholders.

“They want INEC to decentralise the PVC collection centres to polling units’ level.

“INEC is also faced with the problem of failure to comply with the PVC collection procedures at the collection centres,” she lamented.

General elections begin with the presidential vote on February 25, to be followed by the National Assembly, governorship and state assemblies elections on March 11.
