ANSAA Issues Stern Warning, Reaffirms ₦50 Million Campaign Permit Fee for Anambra 2025 Guber Poll

The Anambra State Signage and Advertisement Agency (ANSAA) has reiterated its stance on political campaign regulations ahead of the November 8, 2025, gubernatorial election. At a press briefing held at the agency’s headquarters in Awka, the agency restated the mandatory ₦50 million campaign permit fee and emphasized its commitment to enforcing compliance among all political parties.

Addressing the press, the Managing Director/CEO of ANSAA, Mr. Odili Tony Ujubuonu, reviewed the Out-of-Home Promotions and Visual Campaign Guidelines earlier issued in June and provided an update on party compliance and infractions.

According to ANSAA, five of the sixteen registered political parties have fully complied with the stipulated campaign guidelines and have obtained valid permits to advertise using billboards, banners, branded vehicles, and other outdoor media:

Young Progressives Party (YPP) – June 24, African Democratic Congress (ADC) – June 26, Labour Party (LP) – June 27, Action Alliance (AA) – June 27,All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) – July 2

These parties now enjoy unrestricted access to all approved outdoor campaign platforms across the state.

Meanwhile, other parties have opted to run their campaigns through radio, TV, and social media platforms — an approach deemed lawful so long as they refrain from unauthorized outdoor advertisements.

ANSAA also reported that the All Progressives Congress (APC), party has blatantly flouted the guidelines. Despite receiving multiple demand notices and a legal reminder, the party refused to remit the campaign fee and went ahead to: Mount unapproved billboards,pasting illegal posters, Brand campaign vehicles without registration, Distribute promotional materials without clearance
