Kaduna Govt To Close Campaign Offices Over Bill Order

Ahead of the 2023 General elections, the Kaduna Capital Territory Authority (KCTA) has declared its readiness to close down campaign offices of any contestant who violates the post no bill order, stressing that political parties and their supporters must comply with the order or face the penalty.

Speaking with journalists in Kaduna, the administrator, Kaduna Capital Territory Authority, Hafiz Bayero, advised political parties and supporters to use alternative materials such as polymer, vinyl, polythene banners, billboards, flyers and handbills/pamphlets instead of campaign posters.

Bayero said placing posters on public infrastructure like flyovers, roundabouts, walls, streetlights, and traffic light posts in the city was not allowed.

The notice against placing of posters on public infrastructure followed the lifting of the ban on campaigns for the 2023 elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

KCTA stressed that it would not hesitate to fine the campaign offices of candidates whose posters violate the notice.
