PDP said this in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr Kola Ologbondiyan in Abuja.
“The PDP commends international stakeholders, including President Joe Biden-led United States government, for the strong support given to Okonjo-Iweala, which points to the commitment of all stakeholders towards global consensus and economic recovery,” he said
Ologbondiyan described her appointment as a consensus needed to pilot the activities of the World Trade body, especially at the critical period in the history of the world economy.
According to him, the development has again brought honour to Nigeria.
