Former Nigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo, has faulted a demand by the United States Treasury to probe the President of the African Development Bank, Akinwunmi Adesina, who had earlier been cleared

of all allegations by an investigative body.

Obasanjo said after allegations of unethical practices were levelled against Adesina, the ethics committee of the board of directors chaired by the executive director from Japan and with members who represent shareholder member countries, evaluated the allegations for three months and the 16 allegations were found to be false.

The letter read in part, “Instead of accepting the exoneration of the President of the bank, they called for an independent investigation. This is outside of the rules, laws, procedures and governance systems of the bank. The US treasury secretary disparaged the bank and the ridiculed the entire governance system of the bank which has been in place since 1964.

“I therefore propose that we all collectively issue a press statement to support the laid down procedures embarked upon to evaluate the allegations against the President of the bank and recommend that the board of governors and ethics committee of the bank should firmly stand by their processes and outcome.”

It is actually funny! What's the US business with AfDB. USA is a chronic busybody and meddlesome interloper in the internal affairs of other countries while their house is on fire. Africa must resist USA overbearing influence in the internal affairs of Africa

Nigerians and the entire Africans should do everything in their capacity to stop us from being robbed of this position. Some of our respected leaders should speak in favour of Adesina who has been doing a good job

Let the clean hands doctrine reign

When the puppet cannot act, the real President will act👊 Kudos to Baba Obasanjo GCFR🙏 Gang Up against akin_adesina will fail in Jesus name... We are behind you your Excellency

The demand of the US govt. is clearly unacceptable. It would have been reasonable if such demand is coming from international organisation like IMF or World Bank. Tnk you OBJ for the letter

U.S owns 65% of AfDB so why can't they jump in and out at will

They want to put their puppet in charge ' but they wont succeed

Of course Obasanjo will put pen to paper cos Adesina is a big man. The system is built to protect the rich, and the poor left to their fate. How many of you here for palliatives from FG? If his leadership was so great we would be reaping it benefits. Instead we are stagnant

Its clear that akin_adesina has something to cover cos OBJ is a Fraud

Wait for the e-attack dogs at presidency come for him and accusing him of undue interference in a matter that should be left for the presidency to address forgetting that OBJ will never wait for any Washington over lord and his European accomplice destroy what he built!

Nothing is at risk if he comes clean.

Just I had earlier said, Akinwumi Adesina remain one of the best intellectual property Africa gat. It is ridiculously ridiculous for US and France to fault the outcome of the in-house probe. Can Africa poke into EU Dev Bank affairs? Mad people, always want to show superiority🙄🙄

It’s only western shareholders that are calling for his probe .. they’ can’t withstand a great lender like AFDB to rival the IMF

Our leaders in Africa must unit at this time like never before.

Thank God for baba OluObasanjo1 for speaking up against hypocritical US. This is the position MBuhari should have taken to protect one of our brightest minds. akin_adesina you have my prayers and unwavering support

Nobody will do it

When u people (Africa) leaders refused to put ur house in order dis is one of the results. Stay home and build ur country no, uk today usa tomorrow uae nxt tomorrow. No be only afdb's governance at risk even the whole Africa people at risk of China re-colonisation.

We need to rally the support we can get for this man ... US PRESSURE can’t work
