Kogi Sets ₦150m Campaign Signage Fee for 2027 Presidential Candidates

Kogi Sets ₦150m Campaign Signage Fee for 2027 Presidential Candidates

Kogi State has approved new fees for political campaign materials ahead of the 2027 general elections and the October 2026 local government polls. Presidential candidates will pay ₦150 million to place campaign signage and other promotional materials across the state. Senatorial candidates will pay ₦50 million, House of Representatives candidates ₦30 million, and State House of Assembly candidates ₦5 million. For the local government elections, chairmanship candidates will pay ₦2 million, while councillorship candidates will pay ₦300,000. The state says the charges will regulate political advertising, curb unauthorised materials and raise revenue. Kogi officials said the rules apply to every party, including the APC. Materials displayed without approval or payment may be removed, and violators could face prosecution.

How will a ₦150 million signage fee affect which presidential candidates can visibly campaign across Kogi?

Exactly, that kind of fee could make campaign visibility a luxury lane rather than an open field.

The fee makes physical campaign visibility look far more accessible to candidates with deep pockets.

Regulating campaign materials may be reasonable, but ₦150 million seems difficult to separate from a barrier to political competition.

Authorities should publish the full fee schedule, payment process, and rules for enforcement well before the 2026 local polls.
