PDP candidate rejects Kogi’s N5m campaign billboard levy

The Peoples Democratic Party candidate for Ogugu State Constituency in Kogi State, Michael Idoko, has rejected the N5 million campaign signage fee imposed by the state government. Idoko described the levy as anti-democratic and anti-people, arguing that it could make political participation dependent on candidates' financial capacity. He suggested that elections are won through grassroots mobilisation, credibility, service, and public trust rather than the number or size of campaign billboards.
