Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has alleged plans to prevent the African Democratic Congress, ADC, from holding its convention in Abuja, describing the development as an abuse of public office.
The claim was made in a statement shared on April 14, 2026,
on his official page.
According to the statement, the alleged move involves
efforts to revoke the license of Rainbow Event Centre, the venue scheduled to
host the ADC convention.
Atiku said the opposition party had fulfilled all necessary
requirements for the event, insisting that there was no legal basis to deny it
access to the facility.
“The ADC has paid every fee. The ADC has signed every
contract. The ADC has broken no law,” he said.
He described the situation as an attempt to stifle
opposition activities, warning that such actions could undermine democratic
principles.
“This is how democracies are strangled in a thousand petty,
vindictive acts against opposition parties,” the statement read.
The former presidential candidate further maintained that
the convention would go ahead as planned, despite the alleged pressure.
“The convention will hold. The ADC will rise. And Nigeria
will rise with it,” he added.
