Olalekan Fadolapo, director-general of the Advertising Regulatory Council of Nigeria (ARCON), says President Bola Tinubu did not order the removal of the “all eyes on the judiciary” billboards in parts of the country.
On Tuesday, ARCON directed the removal of the billboards sponsored by a group known as the Diasporas for Good Governance.
ARCON also dissolved its advertising standards panel for approving billboards targeted at the presidential election petition tribunal.
Phrank Shaibu, an aide to former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, had describedthe development as an assault on freedom of speech.
