A member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) convention planning committee, Dino Melaye, has declared that no force can stop the party from holding its scheduled convention, stressing that organizers have a valid contract and have fully paid for the venue.
Reports had indicated that the convention slated for Tuesday was under threat, with claims that the party was being denied access to the facility.
Speaking on the Morning Show on Arise Television, Melaye disclosed that there were attempts to frustrate the event, including moves to shut the venue’s gates and eject organizers from the premises.
He said the planning committee resisted the pressure, insisting that they had a duly executed agreement with the venue owners and had met all financial obligations.
According to him, the party remains resolute in proceeding with the convention as planned, noting that all necessary documentation, including payment receipts and signed contracts, is in place.
Melaye also reaffirmed the ADC’s determination to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), expressing confidence in the party’s growing strength and readiness to emerge as a formidable political force.
“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 convention is going to hold. The exercise will hold. “ADC is entrenched, and we are kicking out APC,” he said.
