Buhari to Adesina: I'll stand by you as I did in 2015 despite your PDP-govt role

“In 2015, when you were to be elected for the first term, I wrote to all African leaders, recommending you for the position. I didn’t say because you were a People’s Democratic Party Minister, and I belonged to the All Progressives Congress , so I would withhold my support. I’ll remain consistent with you, because no one has faulted the step I took on behalf of Nigeria,” said Mr Buhari.

The Nigerian government and other African leaders have been rallying support for Mr Adesina who is seeking a second five-year term. He added that the Ethics Committee of the bank cleared him of all the allegations, and calls for fresh investigation by the United States of America, were against the rules.

Stressing that the motive was to soil his name, and that of the bank, the AfDB president said he was proud to be Nigerian, and thanked President Buhari for his unflinching support.

The man was there on merit and not on any other considerations, support him because he merited it

Olodo.

If he has the power to replace him with a northerner he would have done it since.

Remember, no rigging. No Supreme Court declaring affidavit as equal to certificate.

Despite your PDP government role Really? Petty

Unintelligent quote. Is about Nigeria and not party

I give up!

Too petty

😂😂😂

Buhari will NEVER say such a thing!

Very wicked and vindictive Buhari. If only he could send an APC replacement

You can blame him too now as you have been blaming others.

Across party lines it's agreed to a large extent that Adesina is one who has integrity. And so, Buhari will readily support him.

Mr. President when election was over you translated from candidate if a political party to president of a Nation where patriotism takes front seat and party affiliation back seat .

what kind of childish talk is that?
