Chinese Company Huawei To Sue PDP Over illegal Jonathan Campaign Advert
Huawei, a Chinese Telecommunications company, has
cancelled its street lamp pole outdoor contract, with Lagos based outdoor advertising agency Touchpoint Limited over illegal deployment of Goodluck Jonathan campaign materials on poles paid for by the company.
Huawei had secured the old tollgate
location by Motorways, Ojota, Lagos, for a period of one year and had paid the mandatory Lagos State
Signage & Advertisement Agency (LASAA) fee for their campaign.
Sources at Huawei said the deployment of Goodluck Jonathan campaign materials alongside theirs was unacceptable and therefore had no alternative but to cancel the
contract.
Touch Point in a statement said
‘Our client, Huawei cancelled the
contract saying it was due to the
breach by the PDP to run a parallel
campaign on poles solely reserved
for Huawei’’.
The statement went on further:
‘Elections should not be used as an
avenue to disrupt the honest business of hardworking Nigerians.
There are procedures for deployment of items on street lamp poles and, going through this crude means is not only damaging, it is unfair, inconsiderate and above all illegal by a political party that seemingly prides itself on the rule of law.
I have spoken with my lawyers and
we are considering legal action over this inconsiderate action by the PDP and its agents’’.
