President Muhammadu Buhari Thursday welcomed the exoneration of the President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, by the bank’s board, from allegations of impropriety and fraud levelled against him by some officials of the continental bank.

The president also held talks with the Prime Minister of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, Imran Ahmed Khan, on the campaign for debt relief for Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) members.

The president, in a statement by his spokesman, Mr. Femi Adesina, hailed the outcome of the investigation into the allegations of wrongdoing against the AfDB president, saying that Adesina had not only served Africa well but had made his nation, Nigeria, proud.


Adesina had been under investigation since April by the Office of Integrity and Anti-Corruption (PIAC) as well as the Ethics Committee and Audit and Finance Committee of the continental bank following allegations by “concerned staff members” of the bank who accused him of “various cases of alleged breaches of the code of conduct” of the bank in some appointments and several contracts “approved by Adesina’s team supposedly in violation of the AfDB’s statutory and ethical rules.”

According to reports, 16 of the allegations were documented in English while several others were made in French, including what the employees described as “unusual managerial style,” “dominance of impunity and nepotism,” “chaotic management of human resources” and the “financial waste and lack of budgetary discipline.”


However, a report signed by the Chairman of the Bureau of the Board of Governors of AfDB, Niale Kaba, on Tuesday, absolved Adesina of all the allegations “which were thoroughly investigated by the Ethics Committee of the Board of Directors.”

Buhari, in his statement, quoted Kaba as saying that “on the basis of the results contained in the report of the committee, I am of the view that we should adopt its conclusions by declaring that the president is totally exonerated of all the allegations made against him.”


The president lauded the clearance of Adesina, who is seeking a second term of five years in office, and wished him “greater successes in the position of responsibility he occupies.”

No need to even be elated.

The alleged fraud by adesina is just a cock and bull story by ipob miscreants.

They have been screaming all years that Buhari has stolen, ask them for evidence, they scream more that "where did he get the money to sponsor his children schooling abroad."

Then I ask: a retired head of states, ptf chairman with entitlement running into several millions of naira?

Very funny pipu

One of the numerous evidences that Buhari is supretending the highest lootingn ever in this country is seen in ASO ROCK clinic right under his nose.

After spending about #13B for five years, Aisha Buhari herself said there's no paracetamol.

Recently they have to shamelessly go to National Hospital Gwagwalada to carry a ventilator to Aso Rock.

Shame no dey catch una?

Una mumu never do?

Tueh.....
