Adefolaseye Adebayo has accused the Lagos State Signage and Advertisement Agency (LASAA) of selectively removing her campaign banners ahead of the 2027 elections.
Adebayo, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate for Surulere Federal Constituency I, made the allegation during an interview with Channels Television.
The medical surgeon claimed that LASAA officials removed her campaign materials from several locations across the constituency.
According to Adefolaseye Adebayo, the alleged removals started shortly after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) officially opened the campaign period for the 2027 elections.
She said concerned supporters alerted her after allegedly seeing officials take down her banners.
“On my way from work, someone called me that my banners were being taken away from different locations all over Surulere, and it was specifically my banners alone,” she said.
Adebayo further alleged that campaign materials belonging to the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate remained in place.
However, the allegation has not been independently verified. LASAA’s position on the matter was not included in the account of the interview provided.
The dispute comes as political parties begin to intensify their preparations for the 2027 elections. Campaign materials, public advertising and political messaging are expected to become more visible as the election season progresses.
For Adefolaseye Adebayo, the alleged removal raises questions about equal treatment of candidates and the enforcement of signage regulations.
The issue could also fuel wider debate over how government agencies regulate political advertising during election periods.
As the 2027 contest gathers momentum, candidates and regulatory agencies will face growing pressure to ensure that campaign rules apply fairly to all political parties.
For now, Adebayo’s allegation remains a claim that requires responses and further verification from the relevant authorities.
