Fintiri Warns Politicians Against Defacing Public Infrastructure

On Thursday night, during a press conference in Yola, Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State cautioned politicians against the defacement of public infrastructure with campaign posters as the 2027 elections approach. He stated that any individual or political party found violating this directive will face prosecution in accordance with state environmental laws.

Fintiri highlighted that the government has invested significantly in beautifying the city and improving public infrastructure, which should not be used as canvases for campaign materials. He reiterated that existing laws prohibiting the defacement of public property apply equally to all political parties and candidates, regardless of their political affiliations.

The governor's administration is committed to protecting public assets funded by taxpayers and will enforce these laws fairly and firmly. He encouraged political parties and candidates to utilize legal avenues for their campaigns, such as billboards and media advertisements, instead of resorting to illegal methods.
