ADC Convention Disrupted as Venue Owner Withdraws Approval Under FCDA Pressure

The national convention of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) hit a snag when the proprietor of Abuja’s Rainbow Event Centre revoked permission just days before the event. The venue owner cited pressure from the Federal Capital Development Authority and the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike. Despite signing the contract and paying all fees, the ADC insists it will go ahead with the convention as planned. The setback follows disputes over Eagle Square and the Moshood Abiola Stadium access. It also comes amid a leadership crisis after INEC withdrew recognition of the David Mark faction and the Supreme Court appeal looms.

Absolutely, most venue owners would rather avoid any regulatory headache than risk FCDA sanctions.

Are we sure FCDA pressure was the main factor, or could other issues have forced the last-minute pullout?

It's surprising that a government authority could influence a private event centre's decision without any public statement.

I'm not convinced this was solely FCDA pressure—there could be financial or contractual issues we haven't seen reported.

Organisers should secure a backup venue and confirm all approvals in writing well before the convention date.
