Ngozi, a former Nigeria’s Minister of Finance of South-East Nigerian extraction, made the disclaimer in a post on her X account where she attached a screenshot of the alleged Ekpa’s claim.
The Director-General of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has disowned an alleged claim by Finland-based self-acclaimed leader of Biafran government, Simon Ekpa, that she supported him in securing $57.5 billion to form the Biafran government.
Ngozi, a former Nigeria’s Minister of Finance of South-East Nigerian extraction, made the disclaimer in a post on her X account where she attached a screenshot of the alleged Ekpa’s claim.
Ekpa had allegedly in a post on his verified X account on Wednesday at 11:05am claimed that the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have agreed to give the Biafra Republic Government In Exile $57.5 billion to form government after Bifran Nation declaration on December 2, 2024.
Ekpa in the tweet claimed and thanked Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala for helping him to facilitate the loan.
The tweet had read, “Breaking: The World Bank and IMF have agreed to loan the sum of $57.5 billion to Biafra Republic Government in Exile (BRGIE) to form our government after December 2nd, 2024 declaration of Biafra.
“I thank our sister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala for helping me to facilitate the loan.”
However, Ngozi who distanced herself from the claim described it as outrageous and false, and warned those seeking to misuse her name to desist.
She said, “I know no sensible person will believe what is contained in the outrageous tweet below but in these troubled times it is important to underscore that the statement is false.
“Again I enjoin all those seeking to misuse my name to desist!”
