The Borno State chapter of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) and some of its leaders of being behind the destruction of the party’s billboard in the state.
According to the party, the APC in the state is responsible for the coordinated destruction of its billboards and posters designated in strategic places in the Maiduguri metropolis and its environs.
