Tension as Dino Melaye Issues Fresh Warning over ADC Convention

Dino Melaye, a member of the convention planning committee for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has asserted that nothing will hinder the party from holding its upcoming convention, citing a valid contract and full payment for the venue.

Reports from DAILY POST indicate that the ADC’s convention, scheduled for Tuesday, faced challenges as access to the venue was threatened.

During an appearance on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Tuesday, Melaye detailed attempts to obstruct the event, including efforts to close the venue’s gates and instructing organizers to vacate the premises.

Despite these challenges, he emphasized that the committee was able to resist these attempts, highlighting that they possess a signed agreement with the venue’s owners and have met 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.

He said: “I have that information as a member of the planning committee and the chairman of the protocol committee, and not only we were even 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.

“We have receipt of 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 convention is going to hold. The exercise will hold. ADC is entrenched, and we are kicking out APC.”
