USA Reject Ngozi Okonjo Iweala As Director General Of WTO by NairaLEARN: 1:53am On Oct 29, 2020
Don't Panic!

The Trump administration has rejected the appointment of Nigeria’s Ngozi Okonjo as the Director General of the World Trade Organization, WTO.The US position is championed by the US trade Representative, Robert Emmet Lighthizer, a Republican whose forebears served in the Confederate Army.

This is the same way Trump opposed Akinwunmi Adesina for AFDB. Trump also tries to stop Adesina's second term at the African Development Bank. The British Broadcasting Corporation reported that "The US and the African Development Bank have fallen out over allegations of corruption against the bank's Nigerian head." In the end, Adesina was cleared and reelected despite U.S underhand.

The WTO’s bid to pick its new leader has been plunged into uncertainty for this reason, according to Reuters. The organisation has set a meeting to settle the matter for November 9, 2020 less than a week after the U.S presidential election.

Again, don't panic! Ngozi polled 104 votes from 164 member countries. I believe that her case will end good news for Nigeria, womanity, the black race and humanity; despite Trump's resistance. Adesina in mind.

Thank You

Probably there might be some issues... But I know that Donald Trump will definitely support Dr Ngozi Okonjo. As for Donald Trump!!! he has shown concern about the killing of Christians in Nigeria, while the foolish Barack Obama that supported Buhari, has not shown any concern about the killing in Nigeria, including the Lekki toll Gate shooting... but he is busy campaigning for Joe Biden and shouting BLACK LIVES MATTER everywhere. Even Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton and the USA Secretary of State have all shown concern about the Lekki toll Gate shooting. It was the same Barack Obama that made sure that Dr Ngozi Okonjo never got the position of World Bank President, despite the WORLD BANK board of directors confirming Dr Ngozi Okonjo as the most qualified PERSON to head the WORLD BANK as of then.Wasn't it just yesterday or so Nigerians were rallying for Donald trump...make una continue eh useless idiots
