The World Trade Organization’s (WTO) Director General, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, responded to Nigerians’ critiques of the photos he took while visiting Paris, France, on Saturday.
President Bola Tinubu was cropped out of a photo that Okonjo-Oweala had shared of him.
The snapshot was taken by the WTO Director-General during the summit for “A New Global Financing Pact,” which was called by Emmanuel Macron, the president of France.
As the globe quickens the pace of the energy revolution and the urgency of tackling the pressing concerns of poverty and climate change, the summit gave Tinubu the chance to project his support for expanding the fiscal space, economic justice for Africa, and the necessity of doing so on a global platform.
Nigerians were so divided about the image.
Okonjo-Oweala advised Nigerians to calm down in response to the controversy that had been created.
The former finance minister claimed in a tweet that the dispute has revealed how divided Nigeria has become.
Nigerians, calm down, says Okonjo-Iweala. In relation to Paris, Interesting attacks from both sides This regrettably demonstrates how deeply divided our society is.
“I upload pictures in the order that accompanying staff or colleagues send them to me. It would be inappropriate to infer anything more from it. Let’s get together to strengthen our nation rather than wage war.
