President of the World Trade Organisation, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, on Saturday reacted to allegations against her that she cropped out President Bola Tinubu from a photo where he appeared with her.
Reacting to the allegation where some Nigerians condemned her alleged action, the WTO President who was a Nigerian Finance Minister, said the attacks on her were unwarranted.
“Nigerians please relax! Re Paris, Interesting attacks from both sides. Sadly shows the depth of polarization in our society. I post photos in the order received by accompanying staff or colleagues. Reading more into it is unwarranted. Let’s unite to build our country not attack!”
A member of the All Progressive Congress from Adamawa state, Adamu Garba, wrote while attacking Okonjo-Iweala, “If she like, let her not acknowledge or recognize the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The same Nigeria that did everything for her to become who she is today, the leader of same party, APC, which gave her the wherewithal to get her current office as DG of WTO.
“If doing so is to spite Tinubu as a person, she should know that Tinubu is the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Who ever spite at him has done so against the government and the people of Nigeria. And we noted that. Indeed, rebellion is the greatest of all sins.”
