Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Director-General, World Trade Organisation (WTO), has warned Simon Ekpa, a controversial Biafran agitator, to desist from using her name to spread falsehood.

Ekpa, in a now-deleted post via X, had claimed the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have agreed to loan $57.5 billion to Biafra Republic Government in Exile (BRGIE).

In the post, he also alleged that Okonjo- Iweala assisted in facilitating the said loan.

“The World Bank and IMF have agreed to loan the sum of $57.5 billion to Biafra Republic Government in Exile (BRGIE) to form our government after December 2nd 2024 declaration of Biafra. I thank our sister, Ngozi Okonjo- Iweala for helping me to facilitate the loan,” he wrote.

Reacting, the WTO DG debunked the tweet.

She appealed to those seeking to misuse her name to desist.

“I know no sensible person will believe what is contained in the outrageous tweet below but in these troubled times it is important to underscore that the statement is false. Again I enjoin all those seeking to misuse my name to desist!,” she wrote on X.
