Ngozi Okonjo Iweala There is a trending discussion on the assertion that the Director General of the World Trade Organisation, Mrs Ngozi Okonjo Iweala snubbed the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu in France where the duo were parts of the just concluded 'Global Financing Pact Summit in Paris, France'.
Loyalists of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu clampdown on the assertion claiming that Okonjo Iweala ought not to have ridiculed the President of her country, and most especially the ruling party has given her utmost support when Iweala needed it the most, even though she is not a member of the party.
However, those who are opposed to President Tinubu, and mostly the supporters of the Labour Party Presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi are in support of the asserted story.
They showed love for Okonjo Iweala for allegedly snubbing the President of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the world conference. They have given many reasons to justify Iweala's alleged underrating of her country's President.
The trend has influenced the Round Table to research further on the trending topic.
Our team observed that the argument is baseless and the two sides are only arguing on nothing.
Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala went to the seat of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as other dignitaries went to meet him, and she exchanged pleasantries with the President.
In fact, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu held her hand with one hand while shaking her with another hand. This signified they had a brief time discussion beyond a greeting.

It is however worth noting that if the argument on the said topic is to be adjudged, the handlers of Ngozi Okonjo Iweala's social media platforms may either have to be blamed, or he/she has suspicious motive on the subject of the discussion, that is denigrating the President of your country in the committee of the World Leaders.
This could be justified by analyzing Iweala's Twitter Handle. On her handle, it took about 13 hours interval between the time she posted his pictures and exchanged pleasantries with the President of France, South Africa, and some other countries to when she posted her picture where she exchanged pleasantries with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
In fact, she did not tweet the picture until the argument got to the peak, and the argument started degenerating into unveiling how the ruling party gave their support for her emergence as Director General of WTO, and some of the supporters of her actions praising her for being a great Igbo woman.
