Akinwunmi Adesina re-elected as African Development Bank President

Akinwumi Adesina has been re-elected as the President of the African Development Bank President on Thursday. With this election, Adesina, will spend another five years managing and supervising the affairs of the bank.

The election took place electronically on Thursday at the virtual annual general meeting of the bank.

President Muhammadu Buhari’s Personal Assistant on Social Media,Lauretta Onochie,made the announcement via twitter

She 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.”

A few months ago he was in the eye of the storm over sundry allegations of misconduct.

In a petition by the group of whistleblowers,believed to be inspired by the American cabal,Adesina was accused of 20 breaches of the bank’s code of conduct. 

The bank, however,found him free,of any ethical wrongdoings.
