The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has being denied two venues without any cogent reasons despite early arrangements, according to sources.
First, it was alleged that the Abuja Transport Hilton hotels, which was initially approached , turned down the ADC request to use it’s facility.
The ADC ,having sensed sabotage , has kept the Rainbow Event Center under rap as it’s definite venue.
The last National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party was held at the same venue.
Located adjacent the the Nigerian Police Force Headquarters , the event center will host the second NEC meeting of the ADC and it’s forthcoming national convention.
The Guardian gathered that the ADC leadership has communicated the venue to state chapters with the caveat not to escalate it.
The ADC is in a battle of survival against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and has approached the Supreme Court for intervention.
The INEC national chairman Prof Joash Amupitan has suspended recognition of the David Mark led ADC rendering a leadership vacuum in the party.
INEC said it’s decision was on the basis of an Appeal Court pronouncement that ordered statusquo ante-bellum be maintained.
Sources said the ADC has officially written the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Olatunji Disu for police protection, the Director of State Services and the Comptroller of Civil Defence Corps.
The Guardian gathered that why the venue is being quietly decorated moderately for the event , the ADC intends to fully move in the early hours of Tuesday .
