Eko Atlantic City Responds to Davido’s Allegation Against them

Yesterday, singer, Davido revealed that he has been prevented from using Eko Atlantic City for his upcoming event in December.

According to him, the denial was politically motivated, so he told his fans that he will be announcing a new venue soon.

Eko Atlantic City denies Davido’s allegation.

The management of the city has however, now responded to the singer’s allegation. According to the management the FIA crooner failed to provide all the necessary documents.

They make strict exceptions to events hence they require security details.

“It has been brought to our attention that we have allegedly denied the musician Davido’s request to use Eko Atlantic City for his upcoming concert.

“We received this request on November 8 to which we responded for clarification and details about the event on November 9. We are yet to receive the requested information so, the notion that we declined his request is false and to imply we are politically motivated is false.

“Some of the additional information requested was pertaining to security provisions and Eko Atlantic City is not an event center and rather a city with existing residents and businesses. In light of this, we have strict rules and regulations when it comes to events and activities within the city, which require due process.

“Eko Atlantic City takes the safety and security of the visitors to the city very seriously. We expect the same safety and security measures from event organizers who hold events in Eko Atlantic City. Any event within the city requires a proper level of planning, safety, and security from event organizers.

“As a final note, Davido and some upcoming artists shot a video in Eko Atlantic earlier this year, which we welcomed, as we believe in the development of our entertainment industry in Nigeria as seen on our social media pages”.
