Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, Nigeria Minister of Finance has denied ever insulting Igbo people. She revealed in her twitter handle that: “There is a fake Twitter post circulating in my name, suggesting that I said something derogatory about Igbos. Kindly disregard it.”

“It’s nothing but a shoddy attempt to photoshop a hateful statement onto my Twitter handle. I did not say or tweet any such thing. Thank you.”
