Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo has paid the N50 million permit to campaign in the forthcoming governorship election in the state.
The State Signage and Advertisement Agency, ANSAA, had three
weeks ago announced that governorship candidates and their parties wishing to
involve in outdoor campaigns during the election should pay N50 million to
obtain the permit to be eligible.
The payment will allow them to campaign around the state,
parade branded vehicles, vests, and also engage in outdoor campaigns, among
others.
Soludo’s party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA,
obtained the permit on Wednesday, when Special Adviser to the Governor on
Political Matters, Dr Alex Obiogbolu, visited the ANSAA office with a bank
draft to obtain the permit on behalf of the governor.
Managing Director of ANSAA, Odili Tony Ujubuonu, who handed
over the permit to Obiogbolu, thanked him for complying with the directive.
He said: “This Political Campaign Permit empowers APGA to
begin deploying campaign materials and promotional activities across Anambra
State, including posters, branded vehicles, public address systems, banners,
fliers, and T-shirts used in street storms, rallies, and more in all 21 Local
Government Areas.
“This development reflects APGA’s preparedness to conduct a
responsible and impactful campaign, fully aligned with ANSAA’s guidelines and
signage standards.”
Soludo would be the fifth candidate in the election to
obtain the permit.
Candidates of Young Progressives Party, YPP, Paul Chukwuma;
Labour Party, LP, George Moghalu; Action Alliance, AA, Jeff Nweke and African
Democratic Congress, ADC, John Nwosu had previously obtained the permit.
