Peter Obi's Town Hall Meeting Venue Withdrawn in Enugu

The management of Amadeo Event Centre in Enugu State withdrew from a contract to host a town hall meeting for Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), less than 24 hours before the event. The venue had been fully paid for weeks in advance.

NDC leaders, including Princess Ada Ogbu, arrived to prepare for the meeting when they were informed by the manager that the facility could no longer be used due to alleged pressure from the venue owner, Pastor Ugo Chime. NDC officials condemned this action, viewing it as part of a broader effort to frustrate Obi’s campaign in the region, particularly accusing Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah and other All Progressives Congress (APC) governors.

Chief Chinyeaka Ohaa, the NDC governorship candidate in Enugu State, was present at the venue attempting to resolve the issue. An insider indicated that the management's withdrawal could breach contract terms, but they remained unwilling to reverse their decision, citing potential legal protection from the state government.
