Youths give Anambra Gov, Soludo 48 hrs to reinstall Peter Obi’s campaign billboards

The Coalition of South East Youth Leaders, COSEYL, has given the Governor of Anambra State, Charles Soludo 48-hour ultimatum to reinstall the campaign billboard of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi.

As earlier reported by The Informant247, the Anambra State Government has pulled down some of the billboards of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi in the state.

This came following an alleged non-payment to the state government.

The Anambra Signage and Advertising Agency (ANSAA) removed billboards placed at strategic areas of the state at the weekend.

The Labour Party accused the Governor of the State, Charles Soludo for directing the removal of the bill boards for personal reasons.

The coalition of Igbo youths frowned at the action of the state government, threatening to make the governor face the consequences if he does not order the restoration of the billboard.

The president general of the youth coalition, Goodkuck Ibem, made this known in a statement released on Thursday.

“The illegal action by Governor Charles Soludo to remove campaign billboards of these noble candidates because they are not in his political party is unconstitutional and undemocratic, to say the least.

“We are aware that why Governor Soludo is after Mr Peter Obi and Senator Victor Umeh is because these two personalities represent integrity, sincerity and transparency which is in variant to what Soludo believes in.

“We give Governor Soludo 48 hours to replace those billboards of Mr Peter Obi and Senator Victor Umeh which he illegally removed or face the wrath of the youths.”
