More troubles await Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo over his comments against the presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi.
Soludo, in a lengthy article entitled, History beckons and I will not be silent (Part 1) had lashed out at Obi, stating that he knows that he can’t and won’t win the 2023 presidential election, adding that the LP flagbearer is only playing games.
Consequently, Igbo youths have asked Soludo to retract his provocative comments or they would dump refuse at Anambra State Government House.

This was as Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, said it had dragged Soludo to deities over his attack on Obi.
The group under the Coalition of South East Youth Leaders (COSEYL) which expressed disappointment in Soludo over his comments against the former Anambra State Governor gave him up till Friday, November 25, 2022, to comply or be ready to face what will befall him.
An official statement by the group’s President-General, Goodluck Ibem, said the time has come when ungrateful and unpatriotic politicians from the South-Eastern part of the country will be dealt with.
“We have set Friday 25 November, 2022, as a day we will carry refuse, debris and dump them at the gate of Anambra Government House, to serve as deterrent to other Igbo political office holders who might want to insult the sensibility of the Igbo nation.”
Soludo gives Obi 12-day ultimatum to pay taxes
Meanwhile, Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State, on Sunday gave one of his predecessors in Anambra, Peter Obi, two weeks ultimatum to pay any impending tax debts on posters and billboards.
The directive, which came on November 20, was issued through a statement by the Anambra State Signage and Advertising Agency (ANSAA).
According to the statement signed by the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Tony Ujubuonu, ANSAA will begin enforcement of its laws from Monday, December 5.
It was gathered that this may warrant the defacing of posters not yet paid.
The statement partly reads “We urge all Out-Of-Home advertising practitioners to revalidate and register all their billboards.’’
According to a letter addressed to both OAAN and registered Non-OAAN practitioners, the agency has taken major steps towards sanitising outdoor advertising practice through ban on individuals, clients and government agency ownership of billboards.
“The agency thus expects maximum cooperation from practitioners, in terms of registering their billboards and payments, but is yet to get such.
“Thus, the agency has directed all billboard owners to provide the information required to register each billboard and also pay up for any campaign on them.
“Through this release, political parties and candidates in the 2023 elections are urged to ensure those handling their campaigns pay to the government to avoid ANSAA defacing their campaign materials. They have two weeks to do this or face legal enforcement…”
