Godwin Obaseki, Edo state Governor has banned billboards owners in the state from accepting advert campaign projects from the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC).
The ban was disclosed to newsmen on Tuesday night in Benin City by a member of the Billboards’ Association in Edo state, Mr. Ibrahim Momoh.
Momoh noted that the governor even threatened to confiscate the billboard of anyone who disregards the directive.
According to The Nigeria Tribune, when contacted, State Director, Advertising Practitioners Council of Nigeria (APCON), Abdul Hakeem Tiamiyu, said he got the same complaints from a billboard owner.
He said: “I have heard the same complaints from billboard owners that Edo State Government has warned them not to erect any billboard from APC.
“I will carry more investigation on this because should this be true, it is quite unfortunate.”
