A member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) convention planning committee, Dino Melaye, has insisted that nothing can stop the party from holding its convention, citing a valid contract and full payment for the venue.
The convention, scheduled for Tuesday, had reportedly faced uncertainty due to alleged attempts to deny the party access to the venue.
Speaking on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Tuesday, Dino Melaye said there were efforts to disrupt the event, including moves to shut the venue gates and ask organizers to vacate the premises.
He, however, maintained that the committee resisted the pressure, stressing that they had a properly signed agreement with the venue owners and had met all financial obligations.
Dino Melaye also affirmed the party’s determination to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), expressing confidence in the ADC’s growing political strength.
He said: “I have that information as a member of the planning committee and the chairman of the protocol committee, and not only we were even asked to leave yesterday, they wanted to shut the gates, but we insisted, and said we are not going to leave because we have a contract duly signed with this place, and we paid fully.
“We have receipt of payments. We have duly signed contracts. The most important thing is that at the end of the day we are here, and we hold our convention here.
“Nobody will stop us. After a contract, a proper contract, with the owners of this place, and after payment and receipt issued, no battalion would have moved us away from here today. So convention is going to hold. The exercise will hold. ADC is entrenched, and we are kicking out APC.”
