Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State has fulfilled the N50 million requirement set by the Anambra Signage and Advertising Agency (ANSAA) to secure a campaign permit for the upcoming November 8 governorship election.
Soludo now stands alongside other contenders Paul Chukwuma of the Young Progressives Party (YPP), George Moghalu of the Labour Party, Jeff Nweke of Action Alliance (AA), and John Nwosu of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) who had already met the same requirement.
Eleven other aspirants are still yet to meet the ANSAA condition.
The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), under which Soludo is seeking re-election, obtained the permit through Dr. Alex Obiogbolu, Special Adviser to the Governor on Political Matters. Obiogbolu submitted a bank draft at the ANSAA office to secure the permit on Soludo’s behalf.
Tony Ujubuonu, Managing Director of ANSAA, issued the permit and acknowledged APGA’s compliance.

He stated: “This political campaign permit empowers APGA to begin deploying campaign materials and promotional activities across Anambra State, including posters, branded vehicles, public address systems, banners, fliers, and T-shirts used in street storms, rallies, and more in all 21 local government areas of Anambra State.”
He added: “This development reflects APGA’s preparedness to conduct a responsible and impactful campaign, fully aligned with ANSAA’s guidelines and signage standards.”
ANSAA had earlier announced the N50 million levy and cautioned that those who fail to comply will face sanctions.
