Kawu vs KWASAA Over Billboard | Nigeria News

Bolakale Kawu, PDP’s governorship candidate in Kwara State, is locked in a fiery standoff with the state signage agency over the sudden removal of his campaign billboard at Ilorin’s Geri Alimi Underpass — just before his rental period ended. His team accuses the government of politically motivated suppression, calling it an abuse of power aimed at silencing opposition ahead of the 2027 election. They insist they paid all dues and followed protocol, demanding fairness and urging the governor to ensure equal political space. Meanwhile, KWASAA denies any bias, stating the billboard was removed due to unresolved payment issues and structural compliance concerns — warning that unauthorized installations endanger public safety. The agency insists enforcement is neutral and not targeted at any party, but Kawu’s camp sees it as a broader pattern of stifling political competition and private investment under the current administration.
