Against all odds, former Minister of Agriculture, Akinwunmi Adesina, under President Goodluck Jonathan, has been re-elected as the President of African Development Bank, AFDB.
Adesina has been enmeshed in series of upheavals that were targeted at thwarting his Reelection bid, but he prevailed..
Adesina was re-elected by the Board of Governors of the Bank at the ongoing AfDB’s virtual annual meeting in Abidjan on Thursday.
President Muhammadu Buhari, through his Personal Assistant on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie confirmed the development while congratulating Adesina on her Twitter page.
Onochie wrote, “Our very own Akinwumi Akin Adesina has been reaffirmed as the President of the African Development Bank.
“Thank you to our supportive President @MBuhari who mobilized support for our own Adesina and why not! Adesina has been proven to be above boards.”It was reported that an Independent Review Panel exonerated Akinwumi Adesina, of any ethical wrongdoings.”
