Director General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has called the attention of the general public towards a false statement circulating about her visit to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Recall that Truth Live News had earlier reported that the WTO director paid a visit to the Aso Villa on Tuesday 8th August, 2023.
Shortly after her visit, there had been an on going statement about a threat to her life regarding her visit.
Which read: “I keep receiving toxic calls and messages regarding my meeting with the president yesterday, and from those I hold in very high esteem. Honestly, I am shocked at the contents of the messages and tone of the callers. Has Nigeria sank this low?
“A visit I made for the good of our dear nation is what they are using to threaten my life and family! You don’t recognise someone as your president yet begging him to save you from the hands of killers in your region.
“I am bringing investors to Nigeria using the president’s commendable policies as a bait. Is that too difficult to understand? President Tinubu’s reforms might be harsh now but they would birth a new and prosperous nation.
“I have lost count of presidents, respected Institutions and investors that have called to congratulate me on Nigeria eventually having a focused leader since the reforms were rolled out. At least, six multi national manufacturing giants are coming with me by December later this year to see how their firms can have factories here. It’s all part of my contributions to the progress of Nigeria.
“I am not a politician. I only desire the best for my dear country. It informed my visit to president Tinubu. The world has accepted him as our president, like it or not. May God heal us.”
Reacting to statement, the Director General tweeted on her Twitter handle this morning debunking any release of such statement and she warned everyone to disregard those false statement.
She wrote:
“It has just been brought to my attention that there is a false statement circulating on what’s app attributed to me saying that I am being attacked for my visit to President Tinubu”
“That statement circulating is false. Infact wickedly designed to create mischief among Nigerians. Please disregard the statement.”
