The Director General of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has warned Nigerians who use her name to fight political battles to cease from such act.
Okonjo-Iweala who was reacting to a remark that Nigeria’s debt profile hit N24 trillion in two months for the first time in the country’s history.
A Facebook post had quoted Okonjo-Iweala as saying: “Nigeria debt for the first time in history has risen to 24 trillion in just 2 months even after removing subsidy is something unbelievable.
“I call several time to help and advise but the current administration and cabals refuse to let me come in. How can you remove fuel subsidy with a debt of 24 trillion in 2 months.”
Meanwhile, reacting to the post, the former Nigerian Minister of Finance described the remark as false.
Iweala maintained she did not make any of those statement. She went ahead to warn those behind the false allegations that she’ll continue to uncover their false plans and evil agenda against her name.
She went to her X handle and wrote, ” This is very important. It appears that there are people in Nigeria trying to use my name and image on social media to fight battles on different sides of the political divide, putting words in my mouth that I never said.
“Therefore, I want to alert everyone that the message below is fake. This is a stern warning to all those trying to misuse my name for their political ends that I will continue to rebut any attempts to use my name and image falsely.”
