Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The 16 governorship candidates participating in the Anambra 2025 election are to pay the sum of N50 million, each, before they can commence campaigns in the state.<\/p>\n

The Anambra State Signage and Advertising Agency (ANSAA) stated this on Wednesday during a press conference. It said the payment would allow them paste posters, host billboards and parade branded cars, vests and other campaign activities.<\/p>\n

The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the agency, Mr Tony Ujubuonu who addressed journalists in Awka said all the political parties fielding candidates for the election, including Governor Chukwuma Soludo would pay the fee. He said the decision is not targeted at any political party.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe permit comes with a statutory fee of Fifty Million Naira (N50,000,000) only, payable to the Anambra State government account.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis campaign fee grants the parties the right to deploy their campaign materials and activities using posters, public address system, branded vehicles, banners, fliers, bunting, T-shirts,caps, street storms, rallies and sundry in location across the cities, villages and communities in the 21 local government areas of the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we have done is to maintain professional standards in the use of public advertising. This permit is to ensure orderliness, prevent visual pollution and create a level playing ground.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the agency was created by Anambra State government in 2010 and established by law for the purpose of regulating the use of out-of-home advertising structures and control outdoor advertising.<\/p>\n

Campaigns for the Anambra governorship election commenced on Wednesday, according to the guidelines released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).<\/p>\n

The governorship election will hold on November 8, 2025. According to INEC, a total of 16 political parties are fielding candidates in the election.<\/p>\n
