Buhari congratulates ex-Agric minister, Adesina, on world food prize .

President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday said Nigeria remains proud of its former Minister of Agriculture, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, for winning the 2017 World Food Prize Laureate.

Adesina, who is the President of the African Development Bank, is being presented the $250,000 prize and Laureate sculpture at a ceremony at the Iowa State Capitol, United States.

According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the President’s congratulatory message was contained in a video message to the former minister.

The statement quoted Buhari as saying, “I received with delight the cheery news of your award as 2017 World Food Prize Laureate. Certainly, this did not come to me and many Nigerians as a surprise, given your antecedents and contributions to the development of agriculture across the African continent.

“We are very proud of you.

“According to the World Food Prize Foundation, you won the prize for driving change in African agriculture for over 25 years and improving food security for millions across the continent. Your choice as the winner of the World Food Prize is a clear recognition and appreciation of your long-standing contributions, reflected in your several roles and activities which promote social economic development.

“By dint of hard work, persistence, diligent efforts and God’s sufficient grace, you have risen above many limitations to emerge as a notable figure and a true champion. Your life story mirrors the resilience of the African spirit and doggedness for which Nigerians are well known.

“On behalf of the government and people of Nigeria, I congratulate you and rejoice with you, your family and the AfDB family on this well-deserved honour.

“Congratulations!’’

The source is

He's OMOLUABI that's what we are known for

Prosperity and not destruction
Shut the faccking hell up! He achieved what he did PURELY BY HIS OWN MERIT. His tribe has NOTHING to do with it, and you can only congratulate him as a Nigerian, and can LAY no claim to his achievement, nor identify with it except on that basis, as it is the constitution that binds us together as a people, otherwise he wouldn't give a fucck about you, Yoruba or not.

The nation-state is the basic unit of the world. Adesina is a NIGERIAN. We don't care about the rest, you tribal bigot.

Ngozi okonjo iweala is no longer Nigerian? Who has done Nigeria more proud than her with all the sadists from yorubaland wishing her ill?
Tribalistic chameleons.

Nobody wished her ill. Obasanjo, Bakare and other Yoruba's lobbied behind the scene to make her Buhari's running mate in 2011 but it did not work out. She presided over the massive looting of our resources between 2011 and 2015 and on that basis, she deserved all the criticism that was thrown her way. Again, a certain Charles Soludo led the "sadists" that criticised her performance. Criticising a political office holder doesn't amount to wishing them ill.

Adesina is an OMOLUABI and so we are verry happy for him.
Now, one can safely conclude dat u guys forget too quickly. So u have forgotten so quickly, dat dis dude introduced e-wallet for farmers, to access fertiliser and there was a national uproar, as farmers cld no longer access fertiliser. Many farmers boldly stated that they didn't need fon as dey cldnt operate dem. Most Nigerians called it a misplaced priority. It cost d FG over 20bn. Nigerians sef
