The management of Rainbow Event Centre in Abuja has reportedly withdrawn its approval for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to host its national convention at the venue
The development was revealed by the party’s spokesperson, Bolaji Abdullahi, in a post shared Monday night.
According to Abdullahi, the venue owner said the decision followed pressure from the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, who allegedly warned that allowing the event to go ahead could lead to the revocation of his licence.
“After paying all the fees required, setting up for our convention tomorrow, the owner of Rainbow Event Centre has just informed us that he has come under pressure from the FCDA and Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike, that if he allows the ADC the use of his facilities, his licence will be revoked.
“But we have already signed the contract with him. We will hold our convention tomorrow as planned at the Rainbow event centre.
“We will not bow to this creeping tyranny. And definitely not to this petty tyrant.
“ADC is rising, Nigeria is rising,” he said.
