FCT, Abuja - Dele Alake, the special adviser to Bola Tinubu, the President-elect, has called on the public to be wary of Lloyd Ukwu, a United States-based Nigerian, who claims to be executive director of the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO).
Alake, in a statement sent to Legit.ng on Friday, March 10, alleged that Ukwu was planning to organise a press conference to cast aspersions on the credibility of the recently concluded presidential election that produced Tinubu as the president-elect.

In his explanation, he described Ukwu's fraudulent attempt to exploit the NADECO platform for Peter Obi against Tinubu as laughable because the president-elect was a front-runner in the pro-democracy group that fought to restore a democratic government in Nigeria.

The statement reads in part:
"We reiterate that Ukwu was very peripheral to this group of eminent statesmen and illustrious Nigerians who bore the pain and peril of exile so that our country could be free from the jackboot of the military dictatorship of Late General Sani Abacha."
The statement further disclosed that Tinubu put his life and resources on the line during the NADECO era while the likes of Peter Obi were romancing the military or nowhere to be found.
It added that the desperation to confer the credit of the NADECO mission on Peter Obi was bound to hit a dead-end and ignominy.
Bola Tinubu: "Atiku, Obi, planning June 12 scenario," Presidency alleges
Legit.ng earlier reported that the candidates of the PDP and Labour Party, Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, have been accused of plotting June 12 scenario for APC's Bola Tinubu's victory in the just concluded election.
The ruling APC-led administration said that irrespective of the criticism against INEC, the presidential election results cannot be upturned until a court of law proves otherwise.
According to the presidency, rather than Atiku, Obi and other oppositions seeking redress in court, they are calling for the annulment of the election.
