Also, Mr Godwin Ezeemo, a PDP chieftain congratulated Okonjo-Iweala’s, saying her track record of success speaks volumes.
Ezeemo said, “She did well in Nigeria as Finance Minister and across the world where she had successfully served in various high profile positions in many global organisations.
“All the agencies she worked in, including the World Bank, stood her out as the right candidate for the job. It was really a testament of her worth and capabilities, a proof that hard work pays,” he said.
