The Central Area of Abuja the federal capital, is practically on a lockdown, with serious traffic congestion along all major roads leading to Eagle Square, the venue of the All Progressives Congress (APC) convention.
There was a traffic snarl around Area 10, Wuse 2, and other areas as road users tried to avoid the Ahmadu Bello Way and Shehu Shagari Way leading to the Eagle Square.
Although the convention did not commence at 3.00 pm, the city experienced huge traffic, with hotels in most parts of Abuja fully booked.
