Simon Ekpa has refuted reports that he stated the World Bank agreed to lend $57.5 billion to the Biafra Republic Government in Exile through former Nigerian Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.

Ekpa used his X handle to communicate on Thursday.

His remarks followed Okonjo-Iweala’s response to a statement reportedly made by Ekpa in which he claimed that the World Bank had approved a $57.5 billion loan for Biafra agitation.

“I know no sensible person will believe what is contained in the outrageous tweet below but in these troubled times, it is important to underscore that the statement is false.

“Again, I enjoin all those seeking to misuse my name to desist,” Okonjo-Iweala, the Director General of the World Trade Organisation, stated in her response to the said statement.

In response, Ekpa stated that he never mentioned the World Bank loan.

“I never tweeted such; it is even surprising that you can tweet this because your name was mentioned. We have been tweeting about the terrorism in Nigeria against your people and you never responded nor showed any remorse.

“Here you are, defending what nonentities did with your name, but have been mute about all the killings by the government you served. I congratulate you for always defending yourself and your integrity, even when they are photoshopped.

“It shows you are a mother. Thank you for defending yourself but I never tweeted such a thing; it is false and fake,” he wrote.
