The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has said that the owner of the event centre it rented to host its national convention is under pressure to go against their agreement.

The pressure is allegedly from the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.

This was stated by the National Publicity Secretary of the ADC, Bolaji Abdullahi.

He said, "After paying all the fees required, setting up for our convention tomorrow, the owner of Rainbow Event centre has just informed us that he has come under pressure from the FCDA and Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike that if he allows the ADC the use of his facilities, his licence will be revoked.

"But we have already signed the contract with him. We will hold our convention tomorrow as planned at the Rainbow event centre.

"We will not bow to this creeping tyranny. And definitely not to this petty tyrant.

"ADC is rising, Nigeria is rising."
