omonnakoda: Thank you sir. They mentioned favouritism in appointments and contracts and lack of due process. I expected them to furnish us with some of the details of their allegation for us to put it in the right perspective, but nothing! 4 Likes 2 Shares |

cosef:Ngozi who lobbied Adesina into that position is, not only proudly Igbo, but VERY active in the Biafran War, and can be trusted to know what she's doing. Not all Yorubas are anti-Igbos. And must Igbos always seek concensus? Adesina should complete his 2nd term. |

Subduer: Please shut it. If NOI or any Igbo was the one indicted by the US, your yorubas will be jubilating and masturbating. We've seen it severally with Iweala, Aruma Oteh and other Igbos whom you've slandered so badly. We are paying you back in your coin. Adesina is thief, USA cannot make mistakes here. They have their facts. 1 Like 1 Share |

Obijulius: Apparently you failed comprehension in school. By the time you realise that foreign nations don't want Africa to compete with them economically you will understand. How can you not deduce from the article that he's being probed because of his success with AfDB. When have you ever heard of AfDB or any other African establishment make an ntervention support to African nations of the magnitude he made? In case you missed it, he was said to have already been investigated and exonerated but they just want to frustrate him with allegations of favouritism Whether they like it or not Africa will be free from them eventually. Don't let tribalism blind you from your greater enemy. 3 Likes |

cosef:Not all Yorubas are anti-Igbos. And must Igbos always receive 100% concensus? It's in the best interest of Igbos to SUPPORT Adesina NOW. It doesn't Yorubanise me, or Ngozi, to take a CONSIDERED stand for the benefit of everyone. French people are trying to control the Eco currency, & they know that Adesina UNDERSTANDS what they're up to. It's our call in Nigeria. Not even Buhari should be allowed to SELL all Nigerians to SLAVE for the French Economy. |

agabusta: Those details were apparently furnished in the original complaint - part of a 12 page report detailing the allegations. Here is some more news on the original allegation: the letter, more than a dozen pages long and dated April 2020, bank staff also complained of "preferential treatment for Nigeria and Nigerians". https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/banking-finance/african-bank-chief-accused-of-multiple-violations |

Dtribeless: they will not. if only they know how their politicians are busy signing a one-sided bilateral economic treaty with Perking cox of kick-back. However , the Americans ain't blameless. I mean most of the Abacha loot were deposited in US banks not Chinese banks. The nigerian government are yet to set up an independent panel of enquiry to investigate how US financial institutions helped Abacha to loot our national treasure! A case of two necessary devils , we should alìgn more with the lesser devil. Btw.... Our western brothers are calling it a witch-hunt...telling nigerian govt to support him. But when the US accused Allen Onyema of financial fraud & money laundering. They called him a fraudster , told him to go & prove himself in the court. well , the Igbo Amaka in me & my common sense says that AFDB should allow an independent group to investigate the allegation. A clean heart fears no accusation. |

I managed to find the Le Monde Afrique article which provides a bit more details. See excerpts: Relatives of President Adesina have been appointed to strategic positions within this Abidjan-based institution, which notably manages public money from African taxpayers. But these appointments flout the strict rules of recruitment, insist the whistleblowers. They cite the case of a friend of Mr. Adesina appointed to a managerial position, yet still occupied by his predecessor. This forced the AfDB briefly to pay two salaries. Another, a childhood friend this time, was awarded a contract for $ 326,000 (about 300,000 euros) in 2017 for his Nigerian communications company, before being recruited to the AfDB for a few months later. However, during an internal audit of the institution, the contract was reported as potentially falling under a“Conflict of interest” . https://www.lemonde.fr/afrique/article/2020/04/05/a-la-banque-africaine-de-developpement-le-president-adesina-conteste-par-des-employes_6035653_3212.html PS: Use Google Translate or other translation software to convert the article from French to English. |

I'll be frank, I think he's guilty. I doubt he is corrupt but cronyism influenced contracts and jobs can't be ruled out. The primary problem is that Nigeria is so steeped in corruption that even the politicians we term honest here would have been stoned to death in other countries. Giving your friend a untendered contract is nothing here and you'd even be called a fool for not doing so. It is taboo, an abomination in many countries. For instance, take a look at Akpabiis Akwa Ibom. Though the man carried out lots of projects, they were done at preposterous sums. Despite that, he was extremely popular. In the US, he'd be in jail serving a long prison sentence. 3 Likes |

4Play: Don't be fooled by the french media sudden concern about nepotism in Afdb.... France wants him out badly... They will be the biggest loser if adesina returns as president.... He has decentralised the operation of the bank making it impossible for France to control from Paris.... Nigeria has only 4 senior staff members....check their names in my previous thread....despite being the largest shareholder.....something the article conveniently forgot to mention...... France on the other hand, has 65 senior staffs working in the bank....mind u their contribution is insignificant.... Did article mention that...no.. Forget all this talk....France is just paranoid their stronghold on francophone countries will soon be dismantled..... Even the chairperson of the board, an Ivorian has agreed the indictment should be squashed.... During the panel investigation, none of the whistleblowers came out to testify, they neither sent credible facts to back their claim to the panel.... Adesina already said he donated the 750 thousand dollars award to charity...... They ain't got nothing on him, they just using the media to discredit him..... However, if he must go, then nigeria should insist one of the guys he brought to the bank as replacement.... The bank vp okonkwo and the former PENCOMM boss Chinelo are good replacement.... The stronghold of France on African countries must come to an end.... 3 Likes 1 Share |

Pascal9: Nigerians must always unite to fight off common enemy. The USA framed up Onyema for canceling deal of buying their flying coffin called Boeing MAX. Once US can't control you they would label you corrupt. People like us would find it difficult to believe anything US is saying about others, because USA is a terrible lying machine. |

Olominira: SIRTee15: You guys like using this emotion-laden conspiratorial style of argumentation. Everything is a conspiracy and allegations of facts are turned into questions of motive as Hannah Arendt would say. Did he appoint his brother-in-law or not and did it follow due process? Same goes for the contract allegedly awarded. All I get is diatribes about French and US conspirators. At the heart of it, the Americans (apparently, they are also part of the conspiracy) are saying that this should be investigated independently and not by the ethics committee. This is not too high a hurdle to accomplish. All the things you say about French motives could all be true without being mutually incompatible with the claim that Adesina acted unethically. Corruption allegations are often used as a weapon to target our enemies - we see a lot of that in Nigeria. But the possibility of this does not dispel the need for a proper independent investigation, it makes it even more compelling for such an investigation to be carried out. |
