Well Wishes Pour In For Adesina After AfDB Vote
By Ayodele Oluwafemi
Congratulatory messages have greeted the reappointment Akinwumi Adesina as the President of the African Development Bank (AfDB) for a second five-year term.
Adesina’s re-election was confirmed on Thursday at the virtual annual general meeting of the bank.
The 56-year-old was the sole candidate for the top position of the bank.
Recall that Adesina was recently cleared of corruption and nepotism allegations by an independent probe, following the rejection by some stakeholders of the report of the bank’s ethics committee that earlier cleared him of the same allegations.
The allegations were leveled against him by some whistleblowers.
Many Nigerians have taken to the social media to congratulate Adesina over his reappointment.
Former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar, tweeted: “@akin_adesina, I congratulate you on your reelection as @AfDB_Group President.”
Presidential aide, Bashir Ahmad tweeted: “Nigeria’s Dr. Akinwumi Adesina has been re-elected as the President of the African Development Bank (AfDB). With this re-election, he will spend another 5 years supervising the affairs of the Bank. Congratulations! ???.”
