How Governor Akeredolu’s Wife Reacted to Okonjo-Iweala and US President Biden’s Photos

Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, the wife of Ondo state governor Rotimi Akeredolu, has gushed over images of Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala with US President Joe Biden.

Okonjo-Iweala went to X on Sunday to share images of herself with Trump on the sidelines of the G20 conference in New Delhi, India.

Biden was seen taking pictures with Okonjo-Iweala, the director-general of the World Trade Organization (WTO), in the post.

Biden also photographed Okonjo-Iweala as she posed with members of her team and Jake Sullivan, the US president’s national security advisor.

Okonjo-Iweala described the moment as “great”. She also said the US president “surprised us by taking a photo of me, my staff and @JakeSullivan46”.

Reacting to the photos via X on Monday, the first lady of Ondo said she was surprised Okonjo-Iweala was able to turn Biden into a “photographer”.

Making reference to Okonjo-Iweala’s feat, Betty also admonished Nigerian parents to ensure their daughters go to school, adding that “female education is not waste”.

“Come and see Naija wonder: Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala turning US President to a photographer,” she wrote.

“If you like, don’t go and pay your daughter’s school fees. Nigerians can you see that female education is not a waste?! Women can be more!”

Okonjo-Iweala was the first woman to serve two terms as Nigeria’s finance minister. She was also the minister for foreign affairs from June to August 2006.

Okonjo-Iweala has been serving as the director general of the WTO since March 2021.

The 69-year-old economist is also the first woman and first African to lead the WTO as director general.
