Akinwumi Adesina, the president of the African Development Bank (AfDB), has reacted to the claim by a British lawmaker, Tom Tugendhat, that Yakubu Gowon looted half of Nigeria's central bank when he was overthrown in 1975.

Tugendhat, a member of the British parliament, made the allegation on Monday, November 23, when British lawmakers debated a petition calling for sanctions against Nigeran government officials allegedly involved in human rights abuses amid the #EndSARS protests.

Former Nigeria’s head of state, General Yakubu Gowon, has reacted to the allegation against him by a British lawmaker of stolen have of CBN when he left Nigeria and moved to United Kingdom in 1975.

However, Adesina who is Nigeria's former minister of agriculture described the allegation as misinformation in a tweet he posted on Thursday, November 26.

He said;

“Be careful of misinformation! H.E. General Yakubu Gowon, Nigeria’s former Head of State, is a man of great honour, decency, honesty, amazing simplicity, humility and integrity.

“I know him. A great and admirable elder statesman of Nigeria. His honesty and integrity are impeccable.
