The controversy arose following the ADC convention held in Abuja on April 14, after party officials alleged that the venue came under pressure to cancel its booking.

Speaking at a press briefing in Abuja on Thursday, the Director of the event centre, Martina Yusuf, refuted the claims.

Yusuf stated that the facility neither received any threat from the FCT Minister nor from any government official or agency.

She said, “We wish to categorically state that De Rainbow Event Marquee did not receive any threat of licence revocation from the Honourable Minister of the FCT or from any other person or government institution.

“These reports were not authorised by us and, to the best of our knowledge, are untrue. They appear to have been circulated without verification.

“Members of the public and the media are therefore urged to disregard the allegation in its entirety and rely only on verified information.”

Yusuf added that the clarification became necessary following concerns raised by clients with existing bookings at the facility.

She also reaffirmed that the event centre remains fully operational and that all confirmed reservations are still valid.

“This clarification has become necessary following enquiries from clients with existing bookings who are concerned about their scheduled events.

“We confirm that De Rainbow Event Marquee remains open for business and all confirmed bookings remain valid. Providing our clients with a secure and controlled environment is our top priority.

“We are grateful for everyone’s understanding and the trust they have placed in us,” she added.

The ADC leadership, led by former Senate President David Mark, had earlier alleged that the venue for its convention was under pressure to cancel the event.

The party’s spokesperson, Bolaji Abdullahi, claimed in a post on that officials of the Federal Capital Development Authority and the FCT Minister allegedly threatened the venue with possible licence revocation if it hosted the convention.

Despite the alleged pressure, Abdullahi maintained that the party proceeded with the event after meeting all financial obligations and securing a formal agreement with the venue.

The event centre’s denial has now added a new dimension to the ongoing controversy surrounding the ADC convention.

In a sarcastic post on X, she questioned the reports of her filing for a divorce. The rumors had suggested that the marriage, which began in 2009, had collapsed due to financial issues, family interference, and claims of infidelity involving Kanu and another woman, Chioma Amaryllis Ahaghotu.

Option 3: Formal/Reflective

The IPOB leader, who is currently serving a life term for terrorism, was the subject of reports claiming that Uchechi had endured years of emotional strain, financial neglect, and alleged promiscuity.
