A chieftain of the party who would not want to be mentioned at this stage of the impasse told Journalists that Obi and Umeh’s large billboard at the Unizik Temporary Site Flyover along the Enugu-Onitsha expressway was pulled down on Saturday by the Anambra Signage and Advertising Agency( ANSAA).
He said, “The billboard at UNIZIK Temporary Site Junction along Enugu-Onitsha expressway was today (Saturday) removed on the orders of Soludo.
“The advert which was placed by an APCON registered Advertising Agency was fully paid for.
