Doyin Okupe, former Director-General of the Labour Party (LP) Presidential Campaign Council, has made a bold statement in response to Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo’s action.
WITHIN NIGERIA previously reported that Soludo, through the Anambra Signage and Advertising Agency (ANSAA), had removed some of Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi’s billboards.
ANSAA reportedly removed the billboards over the weekend due to Peter Obi’s alleged inability to pay the State Government.
ANSAA Managing Director Tony Ujubuonu confirmed the removal by its operatives, saying one of the LP billboards was removed on Saturday but not on Soludo’s orders.
Ujubuonu had said:
Whatever that was removed was as a result of a challenge we had with the agent that erected the board.
First and foremost is that the bridge you are talking about was having a Labour Party billboard. If you recall in August, we sent out a message to all political parties to pay up their campaign fees.
There was a lot of hullabaloo about it. None of them has paid their own. So most of the parties that have not paid theirs that have adverts on government assets were removed. It has nothing to do with the governor.
In a subtle reaction to the development, Doyin Okupe via his Twitter page shared a video of himself rocking a hoodie with the inscription ‘I am Obidient’.
He also captioned the video:
