Former
Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has distanced herself from the
Atiku Abubakar/Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala campaign posters, which showed up on social
media sites.
The
former Minister of Finance stated that she had nothing to do with them and
insisted she had not spoken to anyone about running for the 2019 Presidential
Election.
“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,” a statement by Paul C Nwabuikwu, her Media Consultant, read.
“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”, he stated.
