The Director-General of the World Trade Organisation, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has described as fake and malicious viral social media post attributed to her, which criticised President Bola Tinubu’s handling of insecurity.
The post, titled “Trump didn’t ‘hit’ us – our leaders did,” claimed that Okonjo-Iweala accused Nigerian leaders of prioritising rhetoric over decisive action against banditry and insurgency.
The post also claimed that the former Minister of Finance urged Tinubu to stop the damage control speeches and secure the people.
In a swift response via her verified X handle on Saturday, Okonjo-Iweala, stressed that the post did not originate from her.
The WTO boss warned the public against believing or sharing the false information, adding that legal steps were being taken against those behind the impersonation.
“Beware, this story going around on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook is false! We are taking action! The person who did this could not even spell my name,” she wrote.
