The governorship candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) in Abia State has expressed frustration over the alleged cost of campaign billboards, asking where he would raise N150 million to fund outdoor political advertisements.
According to CDA News Nigeria, the AAC candidate questioned the affordability of the amount, arguing that such high campaign costs place smaller political parties and less financially endowed candidates at a significant disadvantage.
The candidate maintained that democracy should provide a level playing field for all contestants, regardless of their financial strength. He called for a review of campaign-related expenses, insisting that excessive costs could discourage credible aspirants from participating in the electoral process.
He further urged relevant authorities and stakeholders to create an enabling environment that promotes fair political competition ahead of future elections in the state.
Political analysts believe concerns over the cost of campaign materials, including billboards and media publicity, have continued to dominate discussions as preparations for the next election cycle gather momentum.
CDA News Nigeria reports that the remarks have generated reactions among political stakeholders, with many calling for greater transparency and fairness in campaign advertising costs.
CDA News Nigeria independently verified the candidate’s comments from available reports and reports the news gathered from the report. Further reactions from relevant authorities are being awaited.
