Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina has been re-elected as the President of the Africa Development Bank (AfDB) by the Board of Governors of the Bank.
This was announced by President Muhammadu Buhari’s Personal Assistant on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie on Thursday via her official twitter handle
Onochie on her handle 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.”
Adesina had been in the eye of the storm over allegations of corruption and favouritism, especially from the United States of America which opposed his re-election. The Board of the bank had cleared him of any wrong doing. However, when America kicked again the Board had to raise another committee which also cleared him.
