Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), has taken to social media to strongly condemn a fabricated article that falsely attributes statements to her regarding Abia State and its governor, Alex Otti.

In a tweet from her verified account, @NOIweala, she wrote: "FAKE!! I have taken screenshots of a fake article purported to be written by me about Abia State and its Gov HE Alex Otti that tries to fraudulently build on my recent speech on a Social Contract for Nigeria. Political hacks beware of using me for propaganda. I shall take action!"
Okonjo-Iweala, a respected global economist and former Nigerian Finance Minister, is known for her staunch stance on integrity and truth. Her warning underscores the potential legal and reputational consequences for those who engage in creating and spreading fake news, especially when it involves high-profile individuals like herself.
The fake article in question attempts to undermine the current administration in Abia State by falsely associating Okonjo-Iweala with critical remarks. This incident highlights the ongoing issue of misinformation in the digital age, where false narratives can spread rapidly, potentially causing harm to public figures and political climates.
As the situation unfolds, it will be crucial to monitor for any legal actions that Okonjo-Iweala may take against the perpetrators of this misinformation.
