Gov. Makinde Sues Abia Gov Over N200m Campaign BillBoard Fee

Image
  Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, running as the APM presidential candidate, has sued Abia State Governor Alex Otti over a mandatory ₦200 million campaign billboard fee. In suit HC/214/2026, the plaintiffs argue the levy violates the 1999 Constitution and Electoral Act by forcing candidates to breach statutory spending limits if replicated nationwide.    While states can regulate local signage, using exorbitant fees as a barrier undermines equal political access and statutory spending caps, favoring incumbents over opposition candidates.  Courts usually prioritize constitutional assembly rights over local advertising levies when they suppress political competition. We strongly advise the Governor of the state to make right decisions as we all are watching.
