Party National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, disclosed this in an interview, alleging that authorities frustrated efforts to use Eagle Square and the Moshood Abiola National Stadium Velodrome.

He said the party had written requesting Eagle Square but received no response, describing the silence as deliberate disregard for the opposition.

According to him, attempts to secure the Velodrome also failed after officials cited a scheduled cycling championship.

Abdullahi said the convention will now hold at Rainbow Hotel, Abuja, adding that preparations are in top gear for a “free, fair and credible” gathering.

He maintained that over 3,000 delegates from across the country are expected to participate in the exercise.

The party also alleged political interference in access to public venues, describing the situation as an “assault on opposition parties.”

In a separate update, Abdullahi said the party’s ward and state congresses were conducted peacefully nationwide, producing new state executives in line with internal democratic processes.

He announced that the inauguration of the newly elected officials is scheduled for May 12, 2026, or another date to be communicated.

Meanwhile, the ADC has released updated lists of its national convention committees, with former Cross River State Governor Liyel Imoke named as chairman of the central coordination committee and former Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal as deputy.

The party continues to grapple with internal leadership disputes and legal battles, which have raised concerns over its stability ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Key highlights from his address include:

  • Collective Responsibility: Akpabio stressed that military hardware alone cannot end criminality, urging citizens to partner with security agencies by providing timely and credible intelligence.

  • Economic and Banking Resilience: He declared that Nigeria’s banking sector has shifted from survival to absolute dominance, becoming one of the safest and most technologically advanced in Africa.

  • Reforms Yielding Results: He credited ongoing bank recapitalisation and financial reforms for ending the era where banks could suddenly collapse and cause depositors to lose their savings.

Ultimately, the Senate President maintained that a combination of proactive security operations, economic reforms, and civic cooperation will drive Nigeria’s path toward lasting recovery and national development.
