Samuel Ortom, governor of Benue state, has warned those in
the habit of destroying posters, billboards and other campaign materials of
political opponents to desist from the act.
In a statement issued on Sunday by Terver Akase, special
adviser to the governor on media and publicity, Ortom noted that those who
refuse to desist from such act will face punishment according to the law.
The governor said democracy guarantees freedom for everyone
to campaign without molestation, adding that no individual or group has the
right to pull down campaign materials of opponents.
He, however, advised political parties, their candidates and
supporters to always ensure that their posters and billboards are mounted in approved
locations.
Ortom said anyone who intends to erect a billboard should
seek the approval of relevant government agencies.
Earlier in the month, Ortom inaugurated the PDP campaign
council in Makurdi, the capital of the state.
