Opposition parties in Cross River State are protesting newly imposed tariffs for displaying campaign materials. The parties have deemed the fees “unacceptable,” hindering their ability to effectively campaign. The charges apply to the posting of posters and banners in public spaces throughout the state. This development raises concerns about fair electoral practices and potential limitations on political expression. Opposition leaders argue the fees create an uneven playing field, potentially favoring the ruling party. The signage agency has yet to respond to the opposition's rejection of the charges, leaving the future of campaign advertising in the state uncertain. This issue could escalate into a major point of contention as the election season progresses.
