The Digest:
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has accused FCT Minister Nyesom Wike of threatening to revoke the license of Rainbow Event Centre's owner if the facility is used for the party's national convention. ADC spokesman Bolaji Abdullahi said the venue owner informed the party of pressure from the FCDA and Wike. He added, "We will hold our convention tomorrow as planned. We will not bow to this creeping tyranny." Wike had earlier dismissed claims of denying ADC access to Eagle Square.
Key Points:
- The party said it had already paid all fees and signed a contract with the venue.
- Abdullahi described Wike as a "petty tyrant" in the statement.
- The convention is scheduled for Tuesday in Abuja.
- Wike previously said no formal application was submitted for Eagle Square.
- The ADC insists it will proceed despite the alleged pressure.
