2027: Peter Obi, Tinubu, others to pay N50m each for campaign permits in Anambra

The Anambra State Government has announced a new policy requiring political candidates to pay a N50 million fee for campaign permits. This fee will apply to all individuals seeking to run for office in the 2027 elections, including prominent figures like Peter Obi and Bola Tinubu. The state government has previously implemented similar charges for the use of campaign materials within Anambra.

This policy significantly increases the financial barrier for political participation in Anambra State, potentially impacting campaign accessibility and the diversity of candidates.
