Governor Isa Yuguda of Bauchi State has banned the placement of bill boards, posters and banners of all candidates in all the 20 local government areas of the state e[b]xcept that of President Goodluck Jonathan[/b].

A press released signed by the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on media, Sanusi Mohammed, and made available to newsmen in Bauchi, stated that the ban followed the abuse and indiscriminate display of posters in the state capital and local government headquarters which according to him is posing security problems in the state.

According to him “Any interested politicians who wants his posters, banners and billboards to be placed, should do so 20 km away from the state capital and local government headquarters. Politicians are allowed to paste posters or place posters, banners and billboard in their houses or shops but not outside.

“The ban includes all posters, banners and bill boards of all contestants except that of Mr President and Vice President.”

It said that “Anyone who violated the order would be arrested and prosecuted in accordance with the thuggery law, passed by the State House of Assembly.”

why the exception? Nigeria such a funny place.

Perhaps na Sharia Law wey give am legal standing to pass this kain edict, abi na state environmental law?

Im sure this was the same man that promised wives to his voters.
