In a statement released yesterday, President-elect Bola Tinubu warned of an alleged plot by one Lloyd Ukwu, a Nigerian living in the United States who claimed to be the Executive Director of the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO), to falsely accuse him of rigging the elections on February 25, 2023.
The president-Special elect’s Advisor on Media Communications, Dele Alake, released a statement in which Ukwu was called a “secret agent” hired by Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labor Party (LP), to undermine the mandate freely granted to him by the Nigerian people.
It said, “Our attention has been drawn to an attempt by Peter Obi to hire one Lloyd Ukwu, a United States-based Nigerian claiming to be the Executive Director of the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO), to organise a press conference specifically intended to disparage and cast aspersions on the credibility of the 2023 presidential election freely and fairly won by the president-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
Tinubu continued by saying that the people of Nigeria had spoken, and it was apparent that they wanted him to be the leader of the country beginning on May 29, 2023; he added that Ukwu and his ilk could do nothing to change this fact.
