Former finance minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has denied making a statement on Biafra.
Although it is unclear what statement she was referring to, she tweeted in the early hours of Thursday to disown it.
“My attention has been drawn to a fake news making the rounds claiming I made a statement on Biafra. It is false and mischievous. Please disregard it. Thank you,” Okonjo-Iweala wrote.
A pro-Biafra group, the Biafra Zionists Federation (BZF), had in 2017 appointed her as its Ambassador to the United States.
