24 hours to national convention, ADC yet to get venue in Abuja

With 24 hours to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) National Convention, the political party is yet to be issued a venue.

According to a member of the party, Kola Ologbondiyan, a letter was presented to the Office of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Chief Nyesom Wike, for a permit to use the Eagles Square. The letter was acknowledged, but no response.

Ologbondiyan stated on X that the ADC team paid several visits to the Ministry of Sports officials at the MKO Stadium. “At the end, ADC was refused the use of the Valedrom.

“To make matters worse, privately owned Event Centres in Abuja are turning down the @ADCNig requests for fear of harassment in various forms from the government.

“All ADC members, teeming party supporters and indeed all Nigerians are assured that, as contained in the NOTICE issued to @inecnigeria , the ADC National Convention will hold in Abuja as scheduled on Tuesday, April 14th, 2026.”
