wowo2:
He is on thin ice. He now needs to be extra careful and not take a penny above his fat salary.

What are you insinuating? Was there anything to suggest in the allegations that he embezzled their money? Nothing close to that, rather they are after key appointments, loans advanced for Agriculture and power projects that was competing with Word Bank Projects in Africa etc. Please take time to review the allegations again.
Let me tell you this, Adesina is a first class brain and guess what (but don't quote me), it appears he and Ngozi Okonjo Iwealla are working together to ensure that the areas neglected by Word Bank in Africa are being filled by AFDB which angers the owners of Word Bank. Trying to understand the political economics behind the struggle for the position.

Nobody is against transparency, Dr Adesina himself is solidly in support of transparency but you know that just as you can use the cutlass to clear weeds in the farm, if not carefully used, the same cutlass can be used to cut the yam and other crops you are trying to protect from weeds. In like manner, the ill intentioned whistle blowing, this time around was blown with the intention to inhibit the good development going on in AfDB in favour of Africa and Africans.

So, thumb up for Adesina, Iwealla, and guess the 3rd person...... GMB. Yes GMB for not playing domestic politics with our international interest.
Wish and hope Nigeria will always come together to fight for a common cause this way. That is how to win not when we are divided as Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa. I hope the tribalist on this platform can read this and understand that Nigeria has enormous potential to be very great if we are united in merit and purpose.

GOFRONT:
And All Femi Adesina could do is Eat apple while meeting is going On...

Leave this guy to eat his apple in peace. Do you want to eat Apple ni? Remember, not all apples are good to eat in Ado Rock? Ask Mr Sanni Abacha.

Racoon:

When something goes wrong, then it's time to call a spade a spade.This is what many have been shouting but Mr.President never listen.Segregation of a multi-complex nation like Nigeria by openly skewing appointments based on geo-political or ethno-regious group basis is not right.Nepotism is the mother of all corruption & this is is what Dangiwa(your subordinate back then) have reaffirmed again Mr.President.

Col.Umar Dangiwa is a well known expressly forthright person.He was so damn truthful that he seems to be the only core northern Hausa-fulani that was ready to resign his military commission by his resignation letter to IBB because of the annulment of the June-12 election by the kinsmen back then.I doff my hat sir.

It is unfortunate that we don't have many of Rtd. Col. Umar from the North. It very unlikely that Buhari will listen to his advice. Our prayer should be that GMB will not push us to a point of no return before 2023, and also that we should never have such a nepotic President like him again.

surgical:
it is not a corruption issue,but ethics

Did you take time to read Adesina's response to those allegations before coming to your conclusion?
As a student of corporate governance & politics, it is not hard to see politics of interest in what is going on. It is corporate politics 101 and I am happy Nigeria is responding appropriately.

Do you know what it takes to be the only one being recommended for a second term contest for such an exulted position with many vested interest? Ethics they are talking about is like calling a goat bad name to find reason to use it for feasting.

emkz:
Great.

Let Buhari also contact Donald Trump directly and call this independent probe off. Let him also write to the African Union and African leaders for all of them to jointly endorse Adesina. We need to exert our influence in Africa and our institutions. If the USA wins in ousting Akinwumi, that would be a big blow on African geopolitics.

Akinwunmi's offence is that he expedited loan requests for African countries which the World Bank President claims increased the debt portfolio of those countries. Akinwumi's style weakened the creditor power of the World Bank and IMF (where the United States is the majority shareholder). The plan is to get Akinwumi to step aside and the investigation won't be concluded before the election date and a stooge of the United States is installed there to do their bidding.

Now if the US doesn't get her way, they may impose sanctions on the bank (for flimsy reasons). They are protecting their interests. Therefore, after this, African leaders need to buy out the United States and review her partnership in African institutions.

Thank you for the enlightenment. Isn't it time for Nigeria to mobilize all resources to speak with one voice on this matter and also mobilize other African countries?

Racoon:
Good! OBJ, Atiku, Aruma Oteh.Let the support keep coming but keeping in view no blemish on the side of Adeshina.All for one, one for all.

Akinwumi Adesina, the President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), has responded (dated April 8, 2020) to the allegations against him courtesy of Premium Times. Read below…

Allegation No. 1

Not provided

Allegation No. 2: Appointment of Mrs Chinelo ANOHU-AMAZU

ADESINA: Ms Chinelo Anohu-AMAZU was recruited through a globally advertised, open and competitive recruitment process. The search process was carried out by a top notch external recruitment firm, Russell Reynolds of the UK. She was one of two top candidates (both women) recommended to me as President to consider for appointment by the panel. But, I can state categorically that the allegations made against her are untrue and defamatory.

Allegation No 3: Appointment and promotions of Martin FREGENE

ADESINA: Mr Fregene is NOT my brother-in-law. There is no evidence he is. Second, Mr Fregene is a world-class geneticist, internationally renowned for his work on plant genetics of cassava, and who worked earlier at CIAT, Colombia, one of the CGIAR centres, and subsequently as Director at the Danforth Plant Science Centre (probably the second largest private agricultural research centres in the United States).
He returned from the diaspora to Nigeria to work as Chief Technical Advisor when I was Minister of Agriculture in Nigeria. He was hired as a consultant by the Bank Vice President for Agriculture, Human and Social Development, Jennifer Blake, to support her in the development of the Bank’s Feed Africa strategy. I approved the recommended hire which was entirely within my power to do.

Allegation No. 4: Mismanagement of the TAAT programme

ADESINA: Allegations against me concerning the TAAT are belied by objective and solid facts demonstrating no violation by me of the Code of Conduct.

TAAT is an initiative of the Bank developed to help take agricultural technologies to the scale of millions of farmers across Africa.

Although some staff made some mistakes in the procurement process, this is being investigated by the Bank and no findings have been made yet. There was no impropriety.

The president does not get involved in contractual issues in the Bank, except in cases involving matters that may affect the image, reputation and interests of the Bank.

Allegation No. 5: Appointments and promotions of Mrs Maria MULUNDI

ADESINA: Ms Maria Mulindi worked with me prior to joining the Bank. She was part of my transition management team as I prepared to take office at the Bank following my election as President, and she very ably led all engagements with the Bank with my transition team. All Presidents of the Bank are allowed to bring in and appoint their own Chief of Staff and advisers, to help them to implement their mandate.
Allegation No 6: Direct contracting and appointment of Victor OLADOKUN

ADESINA: We went to the university together and have been very close friends since then. There is nothing in the Bank rules that says that being a friend of anyone in the Bank who gets recruited at the Bank is against Bank rules.

Allegation No. 7: Contracting of Kapil KAPOOR

ADESINA: The African Development Bank, under my chairmanship of the Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) Heads, was tasked to help further develop my proposal to the group on how we can work collectively to leverage global institutional investors to invest in infrastructure and other sectors.

Kapil Kapoor, who was previously the Director of Strategy and Policies of the Bank, prior to his appointment as the Director General for Southern Africa, had been leading this work working closely with all other MDBs.

Kapil was essentially doing this work on top of his regular work as Director General. He retired from the Bank at the end of August 2019.

Allegation No. 8: Appointment of Emmanuel EZINWA:

ADESINA: The allegation that “A Nigerian, Mr EZINWA was found guilty of sexually harassing a colleague during his probation period; and despite his misconduct, (I) requested that Mr. EZINWA’s contract be confirmed, thus forcing the HR Director, Mrs Frauke HARNISCHFEGER resign is false.

The truth is that I do not know Mr EZINWA and have never met him in the Bank. The President does not get involved in any staff appraisals except for Vice Presidents and direct reports.

The then HR Director, Mr. David Ssegawa, evaluated the staff and there was nothing about sexual harassment.

Mrs Frauke HARNISCHFEGER was not the HR Director in 2018. The HR Director in 2018 was Mr David Ssegawa, who evaluated the staff and recommended the staff, as per the standard procedures of the Bank, to the President. Ms HARNISCHFEGER joined the Bank in 2019, one year after a confirmation recommendation made by the predecessor HR Director.

Allegation No 9: Preferential treatment for Nigeria and Nigerians

ADESINA: I did not introduce an organisational chart with a Nigeria Country Directorate. The decision to open a Nigeria Country Directorate was taken by the Board of Directors under my predecessor, the former President of the Bank, Donald Kaberuka.

Allegation No 10: Awards received by the President and costs borne by the Bank

ADESINA: I received the World Food Prize ($250,000) and the Sunhak Peace Prize ($500,000) in recognition of a life of accomplishments in the field of agriculture. Although they were individual prizes, they brought great credit and prestige to the AfDB.

I brought further credit to myself and the Bank by donating these two cash awards for the establishment of the World Hunger Fighters Foundation, a foundation that has garnered contributions from others and now funds the Borlaug Adesina Fellows Fellowship for young African Agribusiness Innovators.

The expenses of the World Food Prize event, including musical entertainment (musical groups from Nigeria and the Glee Club from Purdue University (my alma mater) were defrayed by the World Food Prize Foundation.

Allegation 11: Settlements for staff separations

ADESINA: The allegation that somehow the former Chief Economist, Mr Celestine Monga, departed the Bank with improper payments is false. The Chief Economist was not dismissed. Contract non-renewal is not dismissal of staff.

Allegation 12: Resignation of Mr David SSEGAWA

ADESINA: Mr Ssegawa was the HR Director. It is not true that I, as President, allowed him to resign when there was an investigation. There was absolutely no investigation of David Ssegawa when he resigned, nor was one contemplated.

Allegation No 13: Resignation of Mr Michel-Cyr DJIENA-WEMBOU

ADESINA: The allegation that I allowed the country manager to resign when he was under investigation for corruption is false. The President does not run country offices. They are under a Director General and overall oversight of a Vice President.

Allegation No. 14: Appointment of Mr Charles LUFUMPA as acting VP and Chief Economist

ADESINA: The allegations against me over the appointment of Charles Lufumpa as Acting Vice President and Chief Economist are patently false. My conclusion after careful review of the case of Charles Lufumpa is that the investigations conducted were very faulty and cannot prove the allegations made against him. My review also showed a well-orchestrated effort to make Mr Lufumpa a scapegoat for failures of others to do their job.

Allegation No. 15: Disregard of rules concerning leave of absence of VPs or travel of management.

ADESINA: The President does not monitor or manage time off for staff as that’s done by the Human Resources. The truth is the Vice President had personal medical issues that he had to get attended to (his private life must be respected) that required him to be away for extended periods, as needed, and he travelled with full knowledge of the department of health of the Bank which was monitoring him while away on medical reasons.

Allegation No 16: Political lobbying of Heads of State

ADESINA: It is alleged that as President I basically bribed and corrupted the 16 African Heads of State and governments in the ECOWAS region to support my candidacy for re-election.

The allegation essentially impugns the integrity, leadership and honesty of 16 African presidents and ECOWAS. This is a fanciful and baseless allegation.

Summary

In summary, every single one of the 16 allegations against me in the Disclosure remains unsubstantiated. I have not violated the Code of Conduct. The Ethics Committee should so find and dismiss the matter.

Copied

festacman:
This is a fierce battle for the SOUL of AfDB. I hope Africa wins.

Finally the issues of visionless leadership, corruption and poor management of countries' economies have come to haunt Africa. We don't even fully own our bank!

Believe me, if Akinwumi Adesina will survive this storm, two things will help:

1. His personal relationship and rapport with leaders of Germany, France, Japan and Canada well as most African countries. Even after serving under Jonathan, he maintained good relationship with Pres Buhari. He has this intellectual charm. Part of his offence is that he has virtually secured 2nd term unopposed without recourse to almighty United States.

2. The hatred which EU has for the proud narcissistic Donald Trump, the President of United States may help Adesina's case. Nigeria should exploit this to protect our candidate and image as a country.

All these letters will put diplomatic pressure on AfDB Board of Directors but if US garners the support of key non-African shareholders, Akinwumi Adesina will go because Francophone countries will always toe the line drawn by France thereby deflating Africa's resistance. In addition, I don't trust South Africa to protect Nigeria's interest.

Sound analysis. That is one of the reasons I am happy with Obj's letter. I know he command some respect in the international community I sincerely hope France will not play the role of the spoiler in this game. It is politics whichever way we look at it and am happy the Finance Minister has written her own letter, thereby nullifying some of the allegations against him. Honestly, we must stand up to play our key roles in Africa. If S. Africa should work against us, instant retaliation is key to drive home a strong warning to others and S. Africa. We should revisit the MTN issue is another way with a strangulati g sanctions.

As a person , I am waiting for any misstep from South Africa. If we don't assert ourselves, then we shall continue to be at the mercy of our brothers in Africa and their foreign paymaster.

slivertongue:
adesina says he is innocent, so let the probe go on

Are you sleeping or do you lack capacity to understand the politics of position going on? The bank is an African Development Bank and the Board of the bank has absolved him from any wrong doing only for some position hungry people to go to USA to seek for a way to nullify the action of the Corporation.?

This is not done anywhere. Perhaps you need to know that one of the reasons they are using against him is that he hired some Nigerian principally the former DG of PENCOM. They said Nigerian government (PMB) remove the Igbo woman because of corruption and that Adesina influenced her appointment to a level close to VP. The same Nigerian government is the one writing to defend Adesina, if the allegations of favoritism were true, the Finance Minister would not be writing.

I urge you to visit other tred on this matter on Nairaland to see his response to all the all the allegations. The office is a very serious and powerful one and is highly coveted. For his outstanding performance, nobody is contesting against him that is the reason they want to ridicule him.

Fellow Nairalanders, please read Dr Adesina's response to the politically motivated allegations against him and be judges on these matters.

chibu4u2:


Lol



Which dirty CV?.......he should be probed and if found guilty made to face the law.



Nonsense post. What if he's guilty nko?

BTW which one be is and was, u high?

Part of the allegations against him is that he employed one of your sisters from SE as a Senior officer of the bank taking the salary of a VP. The woman is the former DG of PENCOM. It was alleged that he hire her notwithstanding the corruption allegations against the woman by GMB Government.

It is a case of Nigeria against Nigeria in Africa.

All I can summarize here is the politics of reelection for a second term.
If you are talking about re recruitment, are those hands needed, are they qualified, was the procedure followed etc the fin stage the CEO can decide to pick out out the most qualified hands. Also these are mere allegations and it must be proved before any sanction.

Imagine the allegations against the former PENCOM DG? That woman performed well as a DG I can smell the hands of fellow Nigerian here

If this account is true then I pity Alhaji Lai Mohammed. I expect him to know that when you hold public office, you should be ready to absorb all forms of insult. Is it not the same Lai Mohammed that made insulting GEJ a trade at a point and never was he detained (to the best of my knowledge) for all those attack.

It is easy to become a dictator. Let say this, history has a funny way of repeating itself and once power changes hands and he is paying for his misuse of power, let no man pity him. This I know, will certainly happen. It happened to Obj, GMB his principal was once in the valley but the man is being careful, I do hope he will caution this man because the damage of decree 4 is still fresh on our memory and we are not unaware of the proponents of anti social media bill.

Bobby4090:
Attention seeking woman, you have no reason to attack your superior publicly. Before you know it She started playing the Woman card of gender victimization.
For God sake what is Buhari doing. This woman should be dismissed at once. In a private organization by now she would have been sacked. She took it too personal maybe because of her ego and I have lost all the respect, I had for her.

Did you just call Patanmi her Senior because he is minister? Will you call that behaviour of his honourable? They are both appointee of Mr President band except you have personal issues with Abike, I can't sincerely understand your attempt to justify Patanmi's actions. Men that failed to respect fellow appointees in government (especially women) is less than honourable.
Let's assume that Anike is a man, does that justify his actions? No! There are laid down procedures of communication in government and forceful eviction that jeopardise the resources of fellow MDA is a complete act of irresponsibility.

Much as I wish Obaseki well, to be objective, I feel his chances are slim if he is resulting to Jagaban now for help. Where was Tinubu when Obaseki was attacking his mentor and benefactor up and down with the support of Oyegun? Suddenly , he remember there is a Tinubu somewhere?As a student of power and morality, we are thought never to bite the hands the feed us. Let Obaseki and his deputy Governor rely on their "majority" support in Edo APC to win the primary.

If someone stake his neck to support you to emerge as Governor against Pastor Osagie that was more popular and all you can do is to turn against him when you get to the office , not that you have extra-ordinary performance on infrastructure that you can use to campaign , then I think you should just go alone to test your popularity.

joyandfaith:


what if obaseki wins direct primary? what if government declares curfew in day of primary and scuttle the whole process?

The basis of that curfew must be very strong to pass the test of good reasoning. This is because APC would have announced the date of the primary at least two weeks ahead of the election proper.

For Obaseki, I think the game is up. Young as we are, we have seen many of Obaskei's type and how they end it politically. He should ask people from Kwara what happened between Snr, Saraki and Adamu Attah. Yes, he may have his own supporters but we all know that without the active backing of Adam Oshiomole he couldn't have won the election that produced him as a Governor. Forget about the doctrine of no political godfather, and understand the reality of Nigerian politics. Unfortunately I don't see him winning the battle. He may be lucky to be an exception though.

Juliusmalema:
Wahala

anyway both na Omoluabi and Muslim Yorubas.

Thought they love themselves.

How is Pantanmi an Omoluabi? Get your fact.

You were wrong to have ignored her call. All you need to do is to get her print her own statement for you to take to your bank and let her take yours to her bank.

A talk to her friend or her close family she respects will do the magic if you are meant to be together.

jrusky:


You are right but did you realised it seems Buhari network started working effectively since that Abbawhatever died of Corona

Hmnnn. Please let's allow Abba the son of Kyari rest in peace. People at the corridors of power must have learnt some lessons of the game of power from his death.

ikabasa1:
you need to be isolated..what we need is Local government autonomy.

As a student of Political Science, you are expected to know how crucial separation of power is in a presidential democracy. The three Arms cannot be kept in water tight compartment but anything that will support true independence of the different arms especially the legislature and judiciary from executive will make democracy more vibrant.
Maybe I should also let you know our LG is a product of our imperfect Presidential democracy. The real semblance of Federating Units is the States.

Remember, you can only isolate victims of Covid-19. I hope you are obeying the stay safe rules?

I am not one of your fans, but I must confess, this is a good development Mr. President. Thank you.

Abbeylanre15:



I doubt she will agree to do this... Moreover,those act are not been done at the head office... It is the branch managers that are perpetrating these evils

She can install at branches and have it linked to her phone to check at random intervals.
If she doesn't agree then an anonymous message from unknown number can help her or a printed letter using Microsoft word to inform can be dropped on her desk addressed to her without a name. Make sure the tone of your English is not betrayed in your letter.

Just tell madam to install CCTV camera or spy Camera in all the strategic locations of the company so that she can monitor situation from her office.

Let her know the benefits isore than the cost, that it will help the security to do their work effectively and she should make the process of procurement and installation very discreet. She should also not disclose that you advise her about that decision.

If you can afford it, make a separate accommodation arrangement for him far away from your residence. That should be done after you know how long he want to stay. Be polite to him and let him know you need some privacy for now and you won't like to make him uncomfortable while trying to organise yourself.

hahn:


He's a man. Why will men want to satisfy their lists with him?

Oh, I don't know. Even then, it is still safer to be home with mummy and avoid peer pressure that is capable of luring him into bad association. Other part of my suggestion are still applicable.

Here is my own suggestion to you. Don't move out yet, because if you do, you will be exposing yourself to what I call avoidable preying eyes of men that have no good intentions but to satisfy their lusts. Except you know you are capable of resisting lustful advances without compromise.

Secondly, silently, go online to either aliepress, jumia or any online shop and buy a spy camera or fisheye bulb security camera for your house. With N0k you will not only stop this nonsense but silence your mother on such accusations. I am making this suggestion because it is cheaper than going out to feed yourself and pay rent with attendant risks of singles.
Remember, this woman is your mother and you won't want to end relationships with her on a bad note, so, use wisdom. Don't tell them how you got the video of the thief, just show the video to your mother on your phone and let her direct her anger to the right place why you live in peace.

Get a spy camera into your your rooms with good audio. In no time you will start hearing or reading your family book of revelation . You can also use a spy pen, put on the audio why he's making a call and leave the place to get busy somewhere in the kitchen, after the call go take you pen in stocked in your note book to continue your jotting. when he is not around, lock up your room, copy the audio into your laptop and listen to the conversation with your ear piece. You can also use spy camera to achieve this , but don't break your family, use wisdom to bring him back to his sense and guide your secret carefully so that you can confirm if he has changed or not.

so the best OP can do under that situation is to record them fighting instead of making peace. Are you a true friend of the family?

mrvitalis:

If u see fact as hate then you have a problem ....if igbos hate we won't go to placed and build ...we would simply take our profit and go home

No tribe has built around Nigeria more than the igbos ...but we would state the truth no matter what

Sorry I can't help you with further explanation.

mrvitalis:

Bros they can't stop selling land to us because we buy land far more expensive ....what I stated was nothing but pure facts

You better repent and stop this your fighting spirit, bitterness will not take you anywhere in life. Find room in your heart for friendship and joy, it will help you live longer.

Your mindset is your problem, nobody and I repeat, nobody hate the igbos, but everyone want to be respected.
If Enugun were at anytime a Fed Capital like Lagos was, and it experienced development from all part of Nigeria, will that ever change the fact that Enugun belongs to Igbo? Stop distributing hate virus, it is more deadly than Corona Virus o.

Evercurious:



They need the 'Igbo's ' money.. They can't just stop selling their lands cos they sell expensive to the igbos

Nnayin, you mean it is only the money they want? No, they also want your companionship, money is not everything, even the friendship and your beautiful girls for wife. Don't quote on the last part. Otherwise, I will charge to court.
