Youths Give Soludo 48 hours To Reinstate Peter Obi’s Campaign Billboards
The Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo has been given a 48-hour ultimatum by the Coalition of South East Youth Leaders (COSEYL) to restore the campaign billboards for Senator Victor Umeh, the Anambra Central Senatorial Candidate, and Peter Obi, the candidate for the Labour Party’s presidential candidate.
It was reported that the Peter Obi campaign billboard had been taken down last week by the Anambra State Signage and Advertisement Agency.
The Nnamdi Azikiwe University temporary site flyover’s huge billboard was taken down on Saturday due to an alleged failure by the party to comply with requirements.
In a statement issued on Thursday by its President General, Goodkuck Ibem, the coalition said: “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.”
