The House of Representatives candidate who raised the alarm in Ibadan while speaking with journalists, declared that his campaign billboards that were destroyed include those erected in areas like Challenge, Gate opposite Civic Centre and iwo Road within the Federal Constituency, have been totally destroyed.
The SDP candidate alleged that the billboards were destroyed by members of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), saying the ruling party is afraid of defeat, that is why his campaign billboards were being destroyed.
Hon Aboderin who stressed that it will be wrong for certain individuals to sponsor political thugs to destroy his campaign billboards, tasked security agencies to rise up to the occasion.
“All my campaign billboards have been destroyed by certain political party. There is one at a location, at the back of my billboard , that of the PDP candidate, Abass Adigun Agboworin, they did not touch it, but they destroyed my own billboard”, he alleged.
The SDP candidate added, ” that is why I said it is being sponsored by a certain political party. That is why I said that the primary aim of any government is to protect the lives and property of the citizens. If they cannot do that, they should resign or we vote them out.
“Why are they destroying my campaign billboards. It shows that they are afraid. People are now wiser. People are ready to vote for individuals and not political parties. It is very wrong for someone to send political thugs to destroy my campaign billboards. I am calling on the security agencies to look into this,” he cried out.
