Although, the former Vice President, has not denied the poster making wave, Okonjo-Iweala reacting to the development through her Media Consultant, Paul Nwabuikwu, said, “Our attention has been drawn to speculative media stories, linking former Minister of Finance, Dr Okonjo-Iweala, with the next Presidential election, scheduled to hold in 2019.
“In an effort to invest their efforts with phony credibility, those behind the project, have even gone to the extent of designing a fake campaign poster embossed with her image.
“This is to clarify that Dr Okonjo-Iweala, who is busy with important international duties, has absolutely nothing to do with these speculations and activities. She has neither discussed, nor endorsed them with anybody.“We urge the Nigerian media and public, to ignore this mischievous exercise, and its sponsors,” Okonjo-Iweala said.
Meanwhile, Political Analysts had argued that the permutation if eventually endorsed, has the capacity to unseat President Muhammadu Buhari from Aso Rock come 2019, since majority of Easterners, Southerners, and even Northerners, will want to key into the campaign, as they are unhappy with the present system of governance, which has brought untold hardship on the populace.
In the same vein, an Analyst, who confided in Post-Nigeria, disclosed; that the campaign poster must have sent great shock in the hearts and minds of the President, and his Allies, as they are yet to recover, talk more of reacting to the campaign poster.
