Patrick Lumumba Picks Okonjo-iweala Over His Country’s Candidate For WTO Top Job by Nobody: 10:48am On Jul 22, 2020

Patrick Lumumba, a Kenyan lawyer who served as the director of Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission, says Nigeria’s Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is the candidate Africa should back for the World Trade Organisation top job.

Lumumba, who is from the same country as Amina Mohamed, who is also contesting for the job, said Okonjo-Iweala is the better candidate — based on credentials.

Speaking during an interview with Osasu Igbinedion on The Osasu Show, Lumumba said Africans have a way of competing against each other rather than complementing each other.

“Our lack of coordination, different things that we should do jointly, and with one voice, we don’t,” he said.

“Recently when we were competing for the non-permanent membership of the UN security council, Djibouti was competing with Kenya. Why?

“Right now, there is the WTO; Okonjo-Iweala is the candidate we should back, given her credentials. Now, a Kenyan candidate has emerged, an Egyptian candidate has emerged — we are going to be manipulated and none of the Africans is going to get it.

“We’ve got to learn to do things properly as a continent. And when we do that, we’ll be stronger and ultimately, our populations would benefit from it.”

There are eight candidates for the WTO top job — and three of them are from Africa.

Even here in Nigeria, the president knows why he nominated her but some people are praying for her downfall without any cogent reason.

This man gave a very good reason why he prefers Iweala above his own countrywoman

This is serious but if this happened in Nigeria, some people will start complaining. Competence over nepotism

Dunno if Africa stands a chance, but the continent needs to have a consensus candidate

Competence, over everything else, always stands out for a sane mind

That is Prof. Patrick Lumumba for you, no room for sentiments, definition of a pure radical, unlike the hunger inclined self-aclaimed activists we have around here.

It's not about anyone's downfall, the point he is making is that it is about the betterment of Africa.

About picking the best person instead of the one you feel connected to.

That's not too hard to understand...is it?
