The purported post on Facebook that claimed the former Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala wrote about President Muhammadu Buhari’s performance has been fabricated.
An alleged screenshot of Okonjo Iweala claims that anyone blaming or criticizing President Buhari doesn’t know the situation he met the Country.
The alleged screenshot also stated that President Buhari is doing marvelously well and needs to be commended.
The piece of information circulated about Buhari and signed with the former minister’s name was quoted, “I didn’t expect President Buhari to do well at the pace he is doing now.
“Goodluck Jonathan was overpowered by the Governor’s Forum. The moment they heard that we have money, they would come with so many bogus demands and if Goodluck Jonathan refused, they would claim all kinds of Laws or bring in Politics”
“Anyone blaming or criticizing President Buhari doesn’t know the situation he met the Country. President Buhari is doing marvelously well and needs to be commended.”
However, the former Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, posted on her verified Facebook page to disclaim it.
She said, “Please be aware: This is one of the periodic pieces of information circulated about me which I absolutely did not initiate. Those proliferating fake news, be warned!”
Verdict
False. Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala did not write the post about President Muhammadu Buhari’s performance in office. The screenshot has been fabricated.
