Sequel to the refusal of the management of the Abuja Eagle Square, Abuja to grant him access to the facility, former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has announced a new venue for his formal presidential declaration scheduled to hold today.
Confirming the new venue, Kwankwaso’s spokesperson, Binta Sipikin, said the ceremony will now hold at Chida Hotel in Utako, Abuja.
Recall that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential aspirant was denied use of the Eagle Square a public open facility used for such gathering.
Authorities maintaining the facility had, after initially granting him access, denied him usage of the venue; a move believed to be to checkmate the former Kano governor.
In a letter signed by Usman Raji, the facility manager of the Abuja International Conference Centre & Eagles Square, the government said the decision to deny him the Eagle Square was to avoid disruption of “work flow” at the federal secretariat, the work place of hundreds of federal civil servants.
Kwankwaso, who recently defected from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to the PDP had announced Wednesday for the official declaration of his presidential ambition.
