What Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has to say about her emerging WTO DG

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has broken silence on emerging DG of WTO.
OnyxNews Nigeria reports that former Nigeria Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has said she is yet to be confirmed as the Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO) as widely speculated on the online.
The former World Bank Managing Director further made it clear that the race for who will eventually emerge as the WTO director-general is still on.
This explanation was made in a statement by Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, released on Thursday by her media aide, Paul Nwabuikwu after some viral reports claimed the former Nigeria Minister of Finance has been appointed as the new WTO boss.
Nwabuikwu said in the statement that while Okonjo-Iweala thanks the love, goodwill, and positive energy towards her, she is yet to be confirmed as the new DG of WTO.
Okonjo-Iweala, urged everyone to continue to support her until the final whistle.
The statement reads: “Contrary to inaccurate information released online by an unidentified source, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has not yet been declared winner.
“As announced by WTO, the former managing director of the World Bank and South Korea’s Yoo Myung-hee are the final two contestants left in the race.
“The winner should be announced in two to three weeks. That remains the correct position. Dr Okonjo-Iweala is appreciative and energised by the enthusiastic support of Nigerians. And she is urging all to keep praying until the final whistle.”
