The National Chairman of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus has welcomed the choice of Nigeria’s former Finance Minister, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala the Director General of the World Trade Organization, WTO.
Already, the WTO ambassadors have proposed Okonjo-Iweala to lead the trade organization, Reuters reported on Wednesday.
The news of Okonjo-Iweala’s emergence has gone viral and Nigerians are eagerly awaiting the official announcement, which is expected to be made by the world body soon.
Already, PDP national chair, Secondus has a congratulated Dr. Okonjo-Iweala in advance, saying her emergence in the highly contested global position mirrors the greatness of tomorrow’s Nigeria.
He said that Okonjo-Iweala’s victory is a reward for hardwork and commitment to excellence as she demonstrated in all positions she held nationally and internationally.
“This savoring news coming at this time that the nation is witnessing her worse due to leadership failure is relieving and hope rising that a greater tomorrow awaits this land.
Secondus noted that Dr. Okonjo-Iweala’s victory coming shortly after the re- election of Dr Akinwumi Adesina as the President of the African Development Bank, AfDB, gladdens particularly the PDP who had brought Nigeria’s best heads into government.
The PDP scribe however commended President Muhammadu Buhari for putting aside political sentiment in backing both Adesina and Okonjo-Iweala for the exalted international jobs.
He also commended the international community particularly the ECOWAS and the African Union, AU, for showing brotherhood when it was highly needed.
Secondus prayed God to grant her all she will need, wisdom, the intellect and discerning mind to lead the organisation.
