Anambra Poll: Nwoye Raises Alarm Over Destruction of Campaign Billboards, Posters

Candidate of All Progressive Congress (APC)  in the forthcoming governorship election in Anambra State, Dr. Tony Nwoye,  has raised an alarm over what he described as targetted destruction of his campaign billboards and posters by agents of the incumbent governor, Willie Obiano.

A statement released by Tony Nwoye Campaign Organization on Wednesday bemoaned the “increasing spate at which the APGA led government and her agencies are allegedly meting unprovoked hostilities on the Tony Nwoye Campaign train is condemnable.

“It is bad enough that Governor Obiano and his team have imposed unreasonable levies on any candidate who wishes to mount campaign billboards or paste posters, yet he sends out his hoodlums to single out all billboards and posters belonging to Dr Tony Nwoye for onward destruction.”

The campaign organisation disclosed that Nwoye had fulfilled all obligations to the state by paying necessary fees to Anambra Signage and Advertisement Agency (ANSAA) for him to paste his posters and erect billboards across the state, but wondered why there could be vandalisation of those billboards.

“One of the APC campaign billboards at Awka road, Onitsha was vandalized by the paid agents of APGA and Governor Obiano.

“This update is to put the reading public in the know of the wanton destruction perpetrated by members APGA in Anambra and her agencies.

“Dr Tony Nwoye, as a lover of peace has set all legal machineries in place to address this growing injustice. He has further admonished his teeming supporters to desist from contemplating or carrying out any form of reprisals.

“We hope that APGA and Governor Obiano will call their thugs to order, as this campaign must be issue based and devoid of any form of violence and acrimonious tendencies.”
