Few weeks after the
campaign director of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Musa
Iilu was granted bail by the Chief Magistrate court 111 over the
alleged destruction of the billboards of the Nasarawa State Governor,
Aliyu Akwe Doma, his billboards at the Keffi and Karshi axes of the
State went up in flames.

NEXT gathered that
the razing of the bill boards was due to the recent People’s Democratic
Party (PDP) primaries which was marred with some irregularities as some
of the delegates who participated in the elections were worried with
the manner in which the primaries was conducted.

An eye witness told
our reporter that the youth are not happy with the governor and his
deputy for their inability to consider their plight.

Recently, the
governor’s billboards in Wamba Local Government Area were also brought
down in anger when irate youth claimed the governor restricted his main
contender, Tanko Almakura from constructing roads in their Council
Headquarters. Mr Almakura had rolled in bulldozers and graders to the
council area as part of his campaign plan to start road constructions
when he was asked to stop the projects immediately by the State Urban
Development Board.

In Doma, the
governor’s home town, his billboards were also torched down by
protesting youth who said the governor failed to honour his earlier
pledge of citing the new Federal University allocated to the State by
the President in the town.

The youth who were
initially happy that the university will be located in Doma were
disappointed when the governor announced that the state College of
Agriculture should be relocated to Doma while the University be taken
to the state headquarters in Lafia.

Our correspondent who visited Doma yesterday confirmed that all the
billboards set ablaze by the unhappy youth have since been replaced.
