The Chairman of the Media and Publicity Sub-committee of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Kola Ologbondiyan, has insisted that the party will proceed with its convention regardless of any obstacles, including being denied access to its venue.
Speaking on Arise Television, he revealed that arrangements with several event centres had unexpectedly fallen through, citing a particular instance where access was withdrawn during an inspection visit.
Despite the setbacks, he stressed that the party is prepared to hold its convention in the open if necessary.
Ologbondiyan said the management of the Rainbow Events Centre informed party leaders late at night that they could no longer use the venue, allegedly due to external pressure.
He maintained that if the party is ultimately prevented from using the venue, it would take the convention to the streets, emphasising that the event belongs to the party.
He also noted that all contractual obligations, including payments for the venue, had been fulfilled, insisting that the party would not vacate unless forcibly removed.
Addressing concerns about legality, Ologbondiyan stated that the ADC had met all necessary requirements, including issuing the mandatory 21-day notice to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
He added that there is no court order or legal restriction preventing the party from holding its convention, and affirmed that the event would go ahead as planned.
