Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State has lambasted Senator Ifeanyi Ubah for accusing him of sending thugs to destroy his billboards in the state.

The Managing Director of Anambra Signage and Advising Agency, Jude Emecheta said;

“Governor Willie Obiano did not order the destruction of Senator Ifeanyi Ubah’s billboards in the state.”

“Ubah lied by saying he paid N10m to us. He can’t pay N10m to us and accept a receipt of N7.5m as he is circulating in the social media.”

“Secondly, the governor did not ask anybody to destroy Ubah’s billboards. My governor doesn’t reason that way.”

“In some states, the governor gave a standing other that the opposition should not be allowed to mount any billboards in the state. But here, the governor does not care about such things.”

“The issue is that Ubah lied to outdoor billboards advertisers that he would be mounting product adverts but will end up mounting political billboards which are costlier.”

“Angered by such half-disclosure, the owners of the billboards will go and dismantle them. We don’t own billboards, we only regulate.”

“Again, Ubah paid about N7.5m to us to mount 10 billboards but he ended up mounting over 19 billboards. We can’t allow that. About 28 governorship aspirants are contesting for space about placement of billboards, one man can’t flood the state with billboards, even without paying.”
