The campaign organisation of Tony Nwoye, the All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship candidate in Anambra has lamented the destruction of campaign billboards and posters.
In a statement issued on 25 October, the campaign organisation claimed the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, was behind the destruction.
“The increasing spate at which the APGA led government and her agencies is meting unprovoked hostilities on the Tony Nwoye Campaign train is condemnable,” the statement said.

Accusing the governor of been the mastermind. “It is bad enough that Governor Obiano and his team have imposed unreasonable levies on any candidate who wishes to mount campaign billboards or paste posters, yet he sends out his hoodlums to single out all billboards and posters belonging to Dr Tony Nwoye for onward destruction.
“The first picture below shows the receipt of 3million naira levy paid to the Anambra Signage and Advertisement Agency (ANSAA) by Hon. Dr Tony Nwoye for all his campaign adverts, and the second one shows one of the APC campaign billboards at Awka road, Onitsha, vandalized by the paid agents of APGA and Governor Obiano.
“This update is to put the reading public in the know of the wanton destruction perpetrated by members APGA in Anambra and her agencies,” the campaign organisation said.
“Dr Tony Nwoye, as a lover of peace has set all legal machineries in place to address this growing injustice.
“He has further admonished his teeming supporters to desist from contemplating or carrying out any form of reprisals.
“We hope that APGA and Governor Obiano will call their thugs to order, as this campaign must be issue based and devoid of any form of violence and acrimonious tendencies.
