Reactions After Okonjo- Iweala Crops Tinubu Out of Photograph in France

By Sola Omoniyi, Lagos

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the Director General of the World Trade Organisation, WTO, has been criticized over a photograph she posted from the leadership summit in Paris, France.

Okonjo-Iweala had posted a photograph where President Bola Tinubu was alleged to have been cropped out.

Tinubu attended 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.

However, the photograph posted by Okonjo-Iweala has generated controversy on social media.

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Adamu Garba, criticized Okonjo-Iweala for posting the photograph.

Garba said the former Nigerian Minister of Finance can’t spite at Tinubu with such a photograph.
