The Digest:
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has secured a new venue for its national convention after being denied access to Eagle Square and the Moshood Abiola National Stadium. The convention will now be held at the Rainbow Event Centre in Abuja on Tuesday. FCT Minister Nyesom Wike said no formal application was submitted to his office. Transcorp Hilton denied claims it cancelled a booking, calling the narrative "inaccurate, malicious, and entirely fabricated." Over 3,000 delegates are expected to attend.
Key Points:
- The party accused the APC-led government of sabotaging its efforts.
- Wike said: "Who denied them? I am not aware of any such development."
- INEC said it would not monitor the convention due to a court order.
- ADC accused INEC of deliberately misinterpreting the court order.
- The convention proceeds despite INEC's objection.
