The Lagos State Signage and
Advertisement Agency, LASAA, has defended the removal of the billboards and
posters of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governorship candidate, Jimi
Agbaje
Agbaje had reported the issue to
the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Edgar Imohimi.
Speaking at a
Security/Stakeholders Meeting with INEC and Political Parties summoned by the
Lagos Police Command on Wednesday, the General Manager of LASAA, Mr. Mobolaji
Sanusi, explained that the PDP candidate did not seek the permission of the
agency unlike his counterpart in the All Progressives Congress, APC, before
mounting the billboards and pasting the poster especially on the Lagos Island.
According to him, there are rules
and regulations guiding the pasting of bills and posters in Lagos State which
must be strictly adhered to.
He explained that the agency
clean up the state on weekly basis to remove any poster or billboards mounted
illegally across the State.
Meanwhile, the police boss
advised that all participants and political candidates should always engage the
agency before pasting and mounting billboards and take the advantage agency’s
discounts.
He said, “Lagos State is
politically matured. The removal of the billboards and poster could not have
been an intentional act and that is why I have invited the LASAA MD to be here
today in order to clear the air on the issue.”
However, some other parties
accused LASAA of bias and that it favours APC more than other parties in the
state.
