JUST-IN: Abuja Hotel Cancels Opposition Coalition’s Booking To Unveil ADC Leaders

The booking for a formal event slated to unveil the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as the main platform to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 elections, has been cancelled at last-minute by Wells Carlton Hotel and Apartments in Abuja.

The fully paid reservation was cancelled by the hotel management just hours before the event on Wednesday.

However, on Wednesday morning, organisers were informed that the hotel would no longer be able to host the event, citing an unspecified “internal compliance matter.”

A screenshot of the hotel’s message posted by opposition politician and media figure, Dele Momodu, on Instagram read: “Dear Esteemed Patron, Thank you once again for choosing the Wells Carlton Hotel and Apartments.

“We sincerely regret to inform you that due to an internal compliance matter that has just come to our attention, we are unable to proceed with hosting your scheduled event.

“We are fully aware that the event is less than 24 hours away, and we deeply apologise for the timing and inconvenience this may cause.”

LEADERSHIP reports that former Senate President David Mark and the immediate-past Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, have accepted their appointments as interim national chairman and secretary of the party, respectively.

ADC has, however, opted for Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre in Central Area of Abuja to hold the planned event this Wednesday afternoon, where Senator Mark, Aregbesola and other party leaders would also be unveiled to the public.
