The Amadeo Event Centre, Enugu, has provided the main reason it cancelled the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi's town hall meeting.
In a statement on Thursday, the centre said it initially
withdrew permission for the NDC town hall meeting involving Peter Obi after
decoration materials associated with a political party were brought to the
venue.
According to the centre, such an act violated the booking
terms.
The management said the venue was booked by the Nigeria
Institute of Healthcare Givers and Medical Social Work Practitioners for a
national meeting, not a political rally.
It, however, said that it later allowed the event to proceed
as a youth town hall meeting with Peter Obi to prevent a breach of peace.
It also denied receiving any instruction from the Enugu
State Government over the matter.
Recall that the state
governor, Peter Mbah, had denied ordering the cancellation, describing the
allegation as "preposterous and utter falsehood".
