By Ishaya Ibrahim
Director General of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), Dr Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, stirred controversy over some photographs she shared on her Twitter handle of the ongoing Paris Summit in France.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was conspicuously missing in the first set of the photographs she uploaded on her Twitter handle last night.
Last night, Okonjo-Iweala shared photographs where she appeared with some of the World Leaders on her Twitter handle including president of the European Central Bank, Christine Lagarde, former minister of Finance for Australia, Mathias Cormann, Brazil President, Lula Dasilva, Senegal President, Macky Sall, South Africa President, Cyril Ramaphosa, and many others.
The photographs were uploaded in batches, and the first and second sets didn’t feature Tinubu.
By this morning, the reactions from pro-Tinubu supporters was enormous to make the DG WTO as one of the top trends on Nigeria Twitter.
Okonjo-Iweala later uploaded photographs she appeared with Tinubu and other set of leaders at the summit.
She tweeted: “More images from the Paris Summi #NewGlobalFinancingPact. With HE President Ali Bongo @PresidentABO, HE President Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT, HE President @WilliamsRuto and African Business moguls @Mo_IbrahimFdn @TonyOElumelu“
