NDC Accuses Hoteliers of Discriminating Against Opposition and Denying Meeting Venues in Abuja

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) accused the ruling APC of pressuring Abuja hotels to prevent opposition parties from holding political meetings and events. In a statement signed on November 5, 2026, by National Publicity Secretary Osa Director, the NDC said Rockview Hotel had twice cancelled bookings, including for a National Executive Committee meeting in June, and that BON Hotel in Wuse had also denied it access to its facilities. The party said a venue for the unveiling of its National Campaign Council sought a refund, but eventually hosted the event after the NDC refused to accept the decision. It urged the APC to allow parties to campaign freely and called on Nigerians to condemn the hotels’ alleged actions.
