‘Relax Nigerians’ – Okonjo-Oweala React To Attacks For Cropping Tnubu From Paris Photograph
The Director General Of The World Trade Organization (WTO) Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala on Saturday reacted to the criticisms from Nigerians over the photographs he took in Paris, France.
Okonjo-Oweala had posted a photograph of him in which President Bola Tinubu was cropped out.
The WTO DG had taken the photograph during the summit for ‘A New Global Financing Pact’ convened by the French President, Emmanuel Macron.
The summit afforded Tinubu the opportunity of projecting, on a global stage, his advocacy for widening the fiscal space, economic justice for Africa as the world accelerates the pace of energy transition, and the urgency of addressing the pressing issues of poverty and climate change.
The photograph had generated so much controversy among Nigerians.
Reacting to the controversy generated, Okonjo-Oweala urged Nigerians to relax.
Tweeting, the former Finance minister said the controversy has exposed how polarised Nigeria has become.
According to Okonjo-Iweala: Nigerians, please relax! Re Paris, Interesting attacks from both sides. This 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.”
