WTO: Okonjo-Iweala Thanks Former US Officials by fergie001: 10:15am On Jan 24, 2021 |
Nigeria's first female Finance Minister, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala expressed gratitude to former US officials who urged President Biden to endorse her selection by the World Trade Organisation (WTO) as Director-General. My thanks to these remarkable leaders for expressing their views! The @wto has a critical role to play in making the Multilateral Trading System part of the solution to #covid19 pandemic, and no time to waste. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala The selection of Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala to lead the WTO was not backed by the Trump administration after she won support across the globe. The Trump administration through its Trade Representative, Robert Lighthizer, blocked the WTO's selection of Okonjo-Iweala and indeed backed her opponent Yoo Myung-Hee, citing the former's trade inexperience; a position many a people differ on. Iweala was tipped to take over from Frenchman, Pascal Lamy as WTO-DG in 2013 but declined. A cross-section of former senior U.S. Government officials, including a Nobel Laureate, along with academicians and civil society leaders, had written to President Biden in support of the election of Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as WTO-DG. 8 Likes 1 Share

Congratulations mam, you are a big beneficiary of Biden's victory, a sign that God is backing you up. Just like Pharaoh has to die for Moses to fulfill destiny and Herod has to die for Jesus to return from Egypt, God has to made sure Trump lose the election for you to become the head of WTO. 4 Likes |

While some Igbos were foolishly supporting Trump, he was busy sabotaging the chances of Okonjo Iweala. It is Biden that those Idiotic Igbos demonised that is now supporting Ngozi. Traders and artisans should not be allowed to dictate Igbo alliances and policy. It should be left for sensible technocrats. 3 Likes |

They're already doing that. But it's not a recovery plan with Africans in it because America and European countries only are the one getting the COVID-19 medication first, not African countries. The question I'll ask you is; why? |
