MONROVIA – A communication purportedly from the Embassy of the United States of Mexico denying knowledge Mr. Akintunde Ojo’s operating in Mexico as Liberia’s Honorary Consul General has been termed as fake by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Liberia. Mr. Pewee said, “Since 2015, the Mexican Embassy in Accra has had jurisdiction over Monrovia when it comes to Mexican relations. Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Henry Fahnbulleh during a press conference held last week told reporters that the Liberian government is not considering an investigation into the matter because there has been no complaint to the government. Mr. Ojo has also refuted the allegation and claimed to be a business man who represents the interest of Liberia and West Africa in Mexico. In a reaction to the allegation, the Liberian Consulate in Mexico’s website states that Mr. Ojo has been strengthening and pushing for Foreign Direct Investment in Africa, particularly Liberia.
