The Tinubu-led Federal Government has ordered the nationwide removal of a billboard with the slogan “All Eyes on the Judiciary”.
The government also disbanded the secretariat of the Advertising Standard Panel (ASP) for its endorsement of the advertisement.
The Director-General of the Nigerian Advertising Regulatory Council, Dr. Olalekan Fadolepo, announced this in a statement on Tuesday.
He claims that the advertisement is offensive and is currently being reviewed by the judiciary.
“The Advertising Standards Panel did not approve the exposed concepts; hence, the council has directed that all the exposed materials be brought down immediately and the violators sanctioned”, he said.
As Nigerians anxiously await the decision of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, the “ALL Eyes on the Judiciary” advertisement is released.
Recall that the candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, and Labour Party’s Peter Obi, challenged the victory of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s victory in the 2023 presidential election.
