The Director-General, World Trade Orgainsation, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has described the pro- and anti- attacks that greeted her delayed posting of her photos with President Bola Tinubu from the Paris summit as interesting.
She, however, sees tribal marks on the attacks, saying they showed how polarised Nigeria was.
Okonjo-Iweala reacted to comments on social media about her pictures with other world leaders at the just concluded Paris Economic Summit as well as her picture with President Tinubu.
Some Nigerians called out the WTO leader for not posting a picture of President Bola Tinubu in the pictures of her meeting with some other nations’ presidents on her Twitter handle on Friday.
She later posted her picture with Tinubu on Saturday morning.
Reacting, the WTO boss said the controversy has exposed how polarised Nigeria has become.
She tweeted: “Nigerians, please relax! Re Paris, Interesting attacks from both sides. This sadly shows the depth of polarisation in our society.
The Paris summit, convened by President Emmanuel Macron, afforded President Tinubu the opportunity of projecting, on a global stage, his advocacy for widening the fiscal space, economic justice for Africa as the world accelerates the pace of energy transition and the urgency of addressing the pressing issues of poverty and climate change.
