According to Ndiigboworldwide, the Anambra State Signage and Advertisement Agency removed Peter Obi's campaign billboard last week.
On Saturday, the enormous billboard at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University temporary site flyover was removed due to the party's alleged inability to meet regulations.
Recall that in August 2022, the Anambra State Government ordered that all presidential, senatorial, and House of Representatives candidates would pay N10m, N7m, and N5m, respectively, to instal billboards in any part of the state, while State House of Assembly candidates would pay N1m.
Following the removal on Saturday, the coalition of Igbo youths denounced the governor's actions and warned that he would face consequences if the billboard was not reinstated.
In a statement released on Thursday by its President General, Goodkuck Ibem, the coalition stated, "Governor Charles Soludo's illegal action to remove campaign billboards of these noble candidates because they are not members of his political party is, to say the least, unconstitutional and undemocratic.
"We are aware that Governor Soludo is pursuing Mr. Peter Obi and Senator Victor Umeh because these two individuals represent integrity, sincerity, and transparency in contrast to Soludo's beliefs.
"We give Governor Soludo 48 hours to rebuild the illegally destroyed billboards of Mr. Peter Obi and Senator Victor Umeh, or he will face the wrath of the youths."
