| Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala |
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala,
two-time minister of finance, says she has not endorsed anyone for president
in 2019.
TheCable
report continues:
A
campaign poster is currently making the round on and off social media that
Okonjo-Iweala will be contesting the presidency with former vice
president, Atiku Abubakar, who is said to run for president.
Fake
campaign poster:
Reacting
to the poster, Paul Nwabuikwu, her media consultant, said she had not endorsed
anyone for president.
“Our
attention has been drawn to speculative media stories linking former Minister
of Finance, Dr Okonjo-Iweala with the next presidential election scheduled to
hold in 2019,” Nwabuikwu said via a statement.
“In
an effort to invest their efforts with phony credibility, those behind the
project have even gone to the extent of designing a fake campaign poster
embossed with her image.
“This
is to clarify that Dr Okonjo-Iweala who is busy with important international
duties has absolutely nothing to do with these speculations and
activities. She has neither discussed nor endorsed them with anybody.
“We urge the Nigerian media and public to ignore this mischievous exercise and its sponsors.”
