Former Minister of Finance in Nigeria, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has denied making rounds that she promised to make ‘Biafra the richest country in the world’.
On Wednesday, a report went viral especially in South-East Nigeria that Okonjo-Iweala promised to make Biafra the world’s richest.
In a swift response on Thursday, Iweala called on the general public to disregard the report, branding as ‘False and Mischievous.’
DISCLAIMER
My attention has been drawn to a fake news making the rounds claiming I made a statement on Biafra. It is false and mischievous. Please disregard it. Thank you
