Air conditioning systems have failed at the Rainbow event centre in Abuja, where the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is holding its national convention, leaving delegates grappling with heat.
Former Kogi senator Dino Melaye said, “We are using this place by force. After paying for this place, signing contractual agreements, they refused to let us use it.” He added that fans are being brought in to cool the venue. The ADC had earlier alleged pressure on the facility to cancel the booking.
Key Points:
