The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has announced a last-minute change of venue for its National Convention scheduled for Tuesday, April 14, in Abuja, following challenges in securing approval for previously proposed centres.
In an update released on Monday, the party confirmed that it was unable to gain access to both the Eagle Square and the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, which were initially considered as host venues for the high-profile political gathering.
According to the party, formal communication had been sent to the office of the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, requesting approval to use Eagle Square. While the request was acknowledged, the ADC stated that it did not receive an official approval or rejection before proceeding to secure an alternative arrangement. 
In a subsequent statement, the party confirmed that the convention will now take place at the Rainbow Event Center in Abuja.
The ADC explained that the new venue was selected for its central location and ease of access for delegates and stakeholders expected from across Nigeria. The party also emphasized that holding the convention in Abuja underscores the national significance of the event and is expected to support a more coordinated and inclusive gathering.
The National Convention is expected to bring together party leaders, delegates, and supporters as the ADC moves to strengthen its internal structures and prepare for upcoming political activities.
