A member of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, convention planning committee, Dino Melaye, has insisted that no force can prevent the party from holding its convention, citing a valid contract and full payment for the venue.
The ADC convention scheduled on Tuesday was reportedly under threat as the party was being denied a venue to hold the event.
Speaking on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Tuesday, Melaye said attempts were made to stop the event, including efforts to shut the venue gates and ask organisers to vacate the premises.https://urbanexpresslive.com/allocation-dispute-osun-apc-slams-pdp-lawmakers-for-what-it-termed-disregard-of-court-ruling/
He, however, stated that the committee resisted the move, maintaining that they had a duly signed agreement with the facility’s owners and had fulfilled all financial obligations.
Melaye further declared that the party was committed to challenging the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, expressing confidence in ADC’s growing influence.https://urbanexpresslive.com/davido-withdraws-loses-legal-custody-fight-for-daughter/
He said: “I have that information as a member of the planning committee and the chairman of the protocol committee, and not only were we 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.https://urbanexpresslive.com/how-burna-boy-tems-became-african-artistes-with-most-billboard-hot-100-entries/
“We have received 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 the convention is going to hold. The exercise will hold. ADC is entrenched, and we are kicking out APC.”
