The ANSAA Managing Director further noted that they expect all campaign materials intended for outdoor display by political parties and candidates, advertising agencies and advertising pratictioners to have been vetted by the Advertising Regulatory Council of Nigeria before they are posted.
He further appealed to all political parties, their supporters, and general public to be considerate of other users of the advertising and visual promotion space in the state and refrain from defacing the campaign materials of opponents, as such actions are unacceptable and contrary to the principles of fair democratic engagement.
