ADC new convention venue has been secured in Abuja by the African Democratic Congress ahead of its scheduled national convention. The party confirmed the development after earlier difficulties in obtaining a venue. The convention is expected to proceed as planned following the update. The announcement was made through the party’s mobilisation structure.
ADC new convention venue development follows earlier concerns raised by party officials over access to event locations in the Federal Capital Territory. The party had indicated challenges in securing major public venues for its national gathering. Eagle Square and the Moshood Abiola National Stadium were among venues reportedly considered.
Officials said efforts to secure these facilities did not yield approval.
The African Democratic Congress is a registered political party in Nigeria. It has been part of ongoing coalition discussions ahead of the 2027 general elections. The national convention is a key statutory event. It is used to make leadership decisions and strategic political declarations.
ADC new convention venue was confirmed as Rainbow Event Centre in Abuja. The facility is located in the Garki area of the Federal Capital Territory. According to the party’s mobilisation wing, the venue was secured on Monday. The update was shared through its official communication channels.
The convention is scheduled to hold on April 14, 2026. Party officials stated that preparations would continue as planned. Earlier, a party chieftain, Kola Ologbondiyan, had raised concerns about venue access. He said attempts to secure both public and private venues faced challenges. He stated that a request was submitted for use of Eagle Square but no approval was received.
He also noted that efforts to secure the velodrome at the national stadium were unsuccessful. The party further indicated that some private event centres declined requests. This was attributed to concerns about possible repercussions. Despite these challenges, ADC maintained that the convention would proceed as scheduled.
It confirmed that the Independent National Electoral Commission had been notified. ADC new convention venue ensures continuity of party activities ahead of the convention. It allows the party to proceed with planned deliberations and leadership processes.
The development highlights logistical challenges political parties may face in organising large-scale events. It also reflects the importance of venue access in political mobilisation. The convention is expected to attract delegates and stakeholders from across Nigeria. Outcomes may shape internal structure and future political positioning.
