NIGERIAN POLITICAL BILLBOARDS PULLED DOWN IN GHANA

It was reported that Nigerian political billboards put up in Ghana have been removed/pulled down. This came after the people of Ghana clamoured that the billboard be removed for fear of attack by the terrorist group Boko Haram.
A security expert, has indicated that Ghana has been saved from a possible attack by terrorist group Boko Haram by pulling down Nigerian political billboards put up in some parts of Accra.
His comments follow an order by National Security, directing the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) to pull down the billboards of Nigerian Presidential candidate, General Mohammed Buharim and incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan.
The billboards located near the Accra mall, Dzorwulu and Osu were pulled down over the weekend.
He said that it was critical that National Security and Accra Metropolitan Assembly have listened to the concerns and voices raised by ordinary citizens that these billboards and some level of active political engagement might pose potential threat in the future.”
He said the removal of the billboards should not only be about Boko Haram but also about whether or not laws governing the country permit foreign political entities to campaign here.
“We cannot overlook the fact that Boko Haram activities are a concern to all West Africa and naturally in terms of terrorist thinking, if we are perceived to be giving an active political ground for the people who are supposed to be the target but are not resident in Nigeria then of course they will look for yet another target so I don’t doubt at all that that may have been part of the consideration.
Well, I totally agree with him, but why do our politician have to go and campaign outside the country. So it means there are billboard all over Africa or is it just in Ghana?.......wondering!!!!
