Its not about being innocent or not, the bank has a standard procedure of their investigation which has been carried out and affirmed his innocence, now the US for some reason which is alleged has a political undertone wants this man removed for reasons best known to them.
Obasanjo's letter is simply to remind the bank to follow the due process which for me is a well articulated letter.

Can't you see letter written by his minister of finance

If you have hard evidence, then present it. That's a warrant for re-investigation. You cannot be ordering people around because of a suspicion, when the investigation was conducted by people form different parts of Africa.

The same thing they saw in Iraq and Libya. The same thing they saw against Dominic Strauss-Kahn. Smh.

I think that man watches too much American movies. Maybe he should read how Saddam Hussein was killed and so many atrocities committed by them all in the name of Democracy and fighting for the good of a common man.

We blacks need to re-orientate ourselves and improve our self confidence. We don't need to buy into whatever the West says hook, line and sinker. It's appalling.

Re: Obasanjo, Zainab Ahmed Writes AfDB, Says U.S Has Ridiculed The Governance System by YaksonFCA(m): 6:22pm On May 28, 2020
I supported the independent investigation initially but this is a superior arguement. To avoid setting bad precedent, it is imperative for the bank to stick to the ethics committee report exenorating Dr. Adesina.

seunmsg:


The bank’s internal procedures are clear, it is only the ethics committee that can investigate the president. The ethics committee probed him for three good months and found nothing, that should be the end of the matter. If the US want another investigation, there must be an amendment to the rules and regulations of the bank. Corruption cannot be fought through illegality. An independent investigation of the president is in violation of the banks rules, regulations and governance system.

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.

Believe me, if Akinwumi Adesina will survive this storm, two things will help.
1. His personal relationship and rapport with leaders of Germany, France and Japan as well as some African countries. Even after serving under Jonathan, he maintained good relationship with Pres Buhari. He has this intellectual charm.

2. The hatred which EU has for the proud narcissistic Donald Trump, the President of United States. 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.
What concerns non African in AfDB. Does any African country have interest in Asian Dev. Bank or European Dev. Bank?

Oga the bank has accepted the the independent investigation, what else are you still blabbing about? The guy involved has already maintained his innocence and also welcomed independent investigation. If he is innocent, he will be exonerated, if not, he will face the consequence. He has all the chance to defend and redeem himself.

OBJ i support your stand however let the AFDB conduct its own internal investigation and arrive at a conclusion free from external pressure or control

That has been done already, and no fault was found.

But America insists that it is not pleased with the internal investigation.

Yet the external independent investigation America wants is not recognised by the rules of the institution.

Tualleh baba OBJ .We thank God for giving us leaders like this who have balls made up of titanium and steal. USA are out to discredit all the good work Dr Adesina akinwumi has done all this years simply becuz he refuse to be there stooge.God willing they will fail so long the God we serve is still sitting on the throne and is not on VACAY. Trying to blame a man who was investigated by the AFDB ethics board and came out clean ,they still want to spill blood by gunning for his head. Baba OBJ will leave long like Methuselah and continue to speak out where injustice is on the sprout. Calling a bingo bad name in other to hang it is what is at play. Dr Adesina is Nigeria president in the making, what ever baba OBJ will do within his powers and connections, he shd pls do to protect our own. Is this a coincidence that no press statement from Aso rock abt this issues uptil now?rather its another loan the govt of boro boro are after.

Not that straight forward. Don’t underestimate the power of the Deep State. Adesina has been too effective /transformative to the disliking of powers that be.

Desperate enough, they will find and force mud down until it sticks, if you let them. He and his allies must fight back. This is clearly contrived, and I see the long, ugly shadow of the Trump administration all over this.

What is blabbing in the assertion that the rules of the institution has to be followed?

Or do you think any findings of an illegal external investigation can be considered binding?

The point made is very valid. You want to try something new? Change the existing rules to accommodate it.

Very stupid comment.

OBJ has written as an individual.

Buhari/FG has written through the minister of finance,being a finance related matter.

Trump or any other national president has not written concerning this matter,therefore it would be very stupid of anybody to expect Buhari to write directly.

How much shares doAfrican countries has in these other continents and how much shares do they have in AfDB? Your president is asking for another 5.something billion loan, how much of these loan is coming from Afiran country? The earlier you begin to understand the international politics, the better for us. For those hoping for other African countries, they won’t hesitate to throw us under the bus just to get few millions dollars from the West.

At your interest! You don't even know anything about international diplomacy.
The Japanese that head the probe on ethics level is a small fry,abi? They have the largest investment in Afdb and then Trump wants imposition.Since elected as American President,did you notice that anything perceived as not for him,he blocks or go against it,even the Intelligence Agencies in America are at odd with him.A President of number one nation of the World should be and even set a good example.

The bolded above is what is key to Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina emerging out of this unscathed. If he really has good rapport with the leader of France like you posited, then he has to exploit that avenue to ensure France doesn't sing to the tune of the US. Again, there is this thing of Francophone African Nations not particularly happy with seeing their Anglophone counterparts calling the shots. I just hope that bias doesn't play put this time around. It's fingers crossed for all of us on the continent.

Hopefully, ECOWAS and Africa Union will also take similar position as the FG of Nigeria. This is a fight for the development, progress, and freedom of Africa and not Adesina’s fight alone.

Is the bank in away answerable to anybody outside Africa?
