The party’s state chairman, Hon Eme Ugochukwu Emmanuel, in a press conference attended by Legit.ng reporter accused the governor of Anambra State, Chukwuma Soludo, of displaying intolerance towards their party.
Ugochukwu said that it is worrisome that billboards, which were duly paid for, and receipts obtained, were maliciously dismantled by the Anambra state government. He added that it is curious that application by the party to the state government to hoist mini-billboards on streetlights in Anambra state was rebuffed, but candidates of other political parties outside the governor’s party have been allowed to hoist their mini-billboards on such streetlights.
