The giant broom mounted by members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) at the city gate, Abuja, has finally been removed, Igbere TV reports.
Igbere TV reports that the broom which symbolises the party’s logo was erected at the entrance to the FCT gate, while another was also erected at the Unity Fountain in Maitama, a few weeks to the Presidential and National Assembly elections.
Findings by Igbere TV revealed that the giant broom, which drew several criticisms from residents, some of who described it as an eye sore at the FCT, was removed Friday afternoon.
Sources told Igbere TV that construction workers were spotted at the city gate pulling down the broom which was made of iron rods.
Another source told Igbere TV that he saw welders and technicians dismantling the broom at the Unity Fountain at about 4pm on Friday.
Recall that Igbere TV earlier reported that the FCT Department of Outdoors Advertisement Services (DOAS) on February 11, 2019, clarified its reason for approving the construction of the broom near the city gate in Abuja.
DOAS said the construction of the broom followed due process.
DOAS is a department in FCT, Abuja empowered to register, authorise, bill, control, as well as collect revenues for advertising and signage within Abuja.
Similarly, the coordinator of Abuja Metropolitan Management Council (AMMC), Umar Shuaibu, said the APC got approval for the broom to be mounted.
