Nigeria’s Former Minister of Finance and World Bank Secretary, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has dissociated herself from presidential posters that are currently in circulation around the country in a shoddy presidential campaign.
The statement that was released from her office confirms that she has nothing to do a presidential campaign poster embossed with her face and name on it. The fake campaign poster have been seen in some parts of the country.
Read the statement by her media aide, Paul Nwabuikwu below.
Our attention has been drawn to speculative media stories linking former Minister of Finance, Dr Okonjo-Iweala with the next presidential election scheduled to hold in 2019. In an effort to invest their efforts with phony credibility, those behind the project have even gone to the extent of designing a fake campaign poster embossed with her image. This is to clarify that Dr Okonjo-Iweala who is busy with important international duties has absolutely nothing to do with these speculations and activities. She has neither discussed nor endorsed them with anybody. We urge the Nigerian media and public to ignore this mischievous exercise and its sponsors. Thank you.
