KanyiDaily recalls that President Tinubu joined other world leaders to attend a summit on ‘A New Global Financing Pact’ organized by the President of France, Emmanuel Macron.

Okonjo-Iweala, in her capacity as the DG of the World Trade Organization, attended the summit where Tinubu had the opportunity to promote his advocacy for expanding the fiscal space, achieving economic justice for Africa amidst the global energy transition, and addressing the urgent issues of poverty and climate change.

After the summit, the WTO GD shared photos of herself with the President of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, President Maky Sall of Senegal, President Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa and Hakainde Hichilema of Zambia.

Okonjo-Iweala’s choice to share a photograph without featuring the President of her home country received backlash on Twitter from some Nigerians. They viewed it as a slight against Tinubu.
