…Seeks review, stakeholders’ meeting
By Boluwaji Obahopo, Lokoja
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Kogi State has rejected the campaign signage and promotional materials fees approved by the state government ahead of the October 2026 local government elections and the 2027 general elections.
The party described the charges as excessive and capable of restricting political participation, urging the government to review the fees and convene a meeting with registered political parties and other stakeholders to agree on a more reasonable framework.
Kogi PDP Chairman, Mohammed Gambo, stated this in a statement on Thursday, while acknowledging the government’s responsibility to regulate outdoor advertising and maintain order in public spaces.
