All President Goodluck Jonathan campaign materials illegally deployed on street lamp poles in Lagos State have been ordered to be removed by the state government led by Governor Babatunde Fashola.
Making the disclosure on Wednesday was the Managing Director of the Lagos State and Advertising Agency, LASAA, George Noah, at a news conference in Ikeja, Lagos, Southwest Nigeria.
According to Noah, the Lagos State Government has ordered the Transformation Ambassador of Nigeria (TAN) and its affiliates to immediately remove all President Jonathan campaign materials illegally deployed on street lamp poles in Lagos.
President Goodlcuk Jonathan’s posters shares a street pole with Chinese telecom company, Huawei.
He also disclosed that if TAN failed to heed the order, that LASAA’s enforcement team would remove the posters in line with the enabling law setting up the agency.
According to Noah, LASAA was constrained by recent developments in the electioneering campaign in Lagos to bring to the fore impunity and illegality that posed immeasurable and long term damage to those who erect, operate and maintain billboards in the state.
He added that the agency had been informed that in the last 48 hours, two advertisers in the outdoor sector had terminated multi-million naira contracts with outdoor agencies registered by LASAA to operate in the state.
He stated that the contracts had been terminated as a result of the parallel and illegal deployment of Jonathan campaign materials on poles paid for by these advertisers.
