Dino Melaye Reacts Angrily as Air Conditioners Fail at ADC Convention Venue
Former Kogi West senator Dino Melaye has expressed frustration over poor facilities at the venue of the African Democratic Congress convention, after air conditioning systems reportedly failed during the event.
The incident occurred as party members and delegates gathered for the convention, which was expected to host key discussions and decisions. However, the uncomfortable conditions caused by the malfunctioning air conditioners quickly became a major distraction, drawing complaints from attendees.
Melaye, known for his outspoken nature, reacted strongly to the situation, stating that the party would continue to use the venue despite the challenges. In a video that has since circulated widely online, he was heard expressing his displeasure and insisting that the event would proceed regardless of the difficulties faced at the location.
The statement, “We’ll use this place by force,” has since gone viral, reflecting both the level of frustration among attendees and the determination to carry on with the scheduled activities. The remark has sparked reactions across social media, with many Nigerians commenting on the state of event planning and infrastructure at political gatherings.
Organizers of the convention have yet to release an official statement addressing the issue. However, sources at the event indicated that efforts were made to resolve the situation and improve ventilation as the program continued.
The development has also raised questions about preparedness and logistics at major political events, especially those involving large crowds. Observers noted that proper planning and facility management remain critical to ensuring smooth proceedings at such gatherings.
Despite the disruption, the convention continued with party activities, as members remained focused on discussions that could shape the party’s direction ahead of future political engagements.
