 El-Rufai’s Eye Condition Worsening In ICPC Custody, Aide Alleges The media aide to former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, Muyiwa Adekeye, has expressed concern over what he described as the worsening eye condition of his principal while in the custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).

EKPA REPLIES NGOZI OKONJO-IWEALA OVER $57.5BN WORLD BANK LOAN CLAIM. (PHOTO).


 Ekpa replies Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala over $57.5bn World Bank loan claim


Simon Ekpa has denied the claim that he said the World Bank, through the former Nigerian Finance Minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, agreed to loan the Biafra Republic Government In Exile a sum of $57.5 billion.

Ekpa spoke on Thursday through his X handle.

His comment came after Okonjo-Iweala reacted to a statement purportedly from Ekpa, wherein he allegedly said the World Bank okayed a $57.5 billion loan for Biafra agitation.

“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,” Okonjo-Iweala, the Director General of the World Trade Organisation, stated in her response to the said statement.

However, reacting, Ekpa said he never made any comment regarding the World Bank loan.

“I never tweeted such; it is even surprising that you can tweet this because your name was mentioned. We have been tweeting about the terrorism in Nigeria against your people and you never responded nor showed any remorse.

“Here you are, defending what nonentities did with your name, but have been mute about all the killings by the government you served. I congratulate you for always defending yourself and your integrity, even when they are photoshopped.

“It shows you are a mother. Thank you for defending yourself but I never tweeted such a thing; it is false and fake,” he wrote.
