Former minister of finance and coordinating minister of the economy, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has released a disclaimer addressing an audio recording saying she has endorsed a candidate for the 2019 presidential election.

Okonjo-Iweala said each candidate should run on the credibility of their person and performance, without using her name to their political campaign.

Writing on her Twitter page, Okonji-Iweala said:

“DISCLAIMER, Dear friends,

“My attention has been drawn to a social media viral as well as an audio recording (a very poor imitation of my voice) where I supposedly endorse a candidate for president in the coming elections.

“Please disregard these as brain candies of mischief-makers.

“I endorse no one.

“Each candidate should run on the credibility of their person and performance, without adding my name to their political campaign.”
