Enugu event centre reveals real reason it cancelled Peter Obi’s NDC town hall meeting

The Amadeo Event Centre in Enugu disclosed the reason behind the cancellation of Peter Obi's Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate town hall meeting. In a statement made on Thursday, the venue management revealed that they initially withdrew permission for the event due to the presence of political party decoration materials.

This act, according to the centre, was in violation of the booking terms. The management had booked the venue for a national meeting of the Nigeria Institute of Healthcare Givers and Medical Social Work Practitioners, not for a political rally. However, they later permitted the event to proceed as a youth town hall meeting with Peter Obi to avert a potential breach of peace.

The centre firmly denied receiving any instruction from the Enugu State Government regarding the matter, contradicting claims by the state governor, Peter Mbah, who had dismissed the allegations as preposterous and utter falsehood.
