FOR the major candidates contesting the election, what is happening in most parts of Anambra State should be worrisome to them.

From the Amansea border town with Enugu State through Awka the state capital, down to the commercial town of Onitsha, what stares travelers in the face are torn and defaced bill boards.

Mostly affected are the bill boards of Labour and APC candidates, who not surprisingly, have pointed accusing fingers on the APGA administration in the state for using both official and non official agents of the administration to deface their posters and billboards even after paying official levies to mount billboards. Supporters of the opposition parties in the state have according to some reports also retaliated by defacing the posters and billboards of the APGA candidate. At newsstands around the state, supporters of the candidates have lately engaged in heated arguments over the issue with supporters of the different candidates trading blames on the issue.

Only last week, the campaign organization of the APC candidate, Senator Chris Ngige accused APGA supporters of masterminding the pulling down of APC bill boards and shortly after the allegation, most of the bill boards of APGA candidate, Chief Willie Obiano were found to be in a terrible mess as black objects were used to cover his face.
