The United States has demanded a fresh probe of the president of African Development Bank, Akinwumi Adesina, over allegations leveled against him.

reports that Adesina was accused by a group of unidentified whistleblowers of handing contracts to acquaintances and appointing relatives to strategic positions at the Abidjan-based lender., a French newspaper, reported that the petition was allegedly spearheaded by an elected staff member to “discredit” Adesina’s candidacy for reelection.reports that Adesina, a Nigerian, is the sole candidate for the bank’s election expected to hold in August.

But in a letter dated May 22, the US through its Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin rejected findings by the bank’s ethics committee and plans to end an investigation into its president.In the letter addressed to Niale Kaba, chairwoman of the bank’s board of governors, Mnuchin called for an independent probe into allegations against Adesina.

“Our constituency cannot make such a declaration at this time. We have deep reservations about the integrity of the committee’s process. “We fear that wholesale dismissal of all allegations without appropriate investigation will tarnish the reputation of this institution as one that does not uphold high standards of ethics and governance.

What is wrong with America. What is their business with AfDB?

This people are not serious at all. What is their business with AfDB? The same US Government that awarded $3M contact to a Trump crony to supply face mask to Indian Community Hospital via a company that was established 11days earlier. Are you kidding me? Shut your trap.

Yes Adesina should be thoroughly probed. You can't trust any PDP at any level anywhere.

This man is innocent, he served as minister of Agriculture in Nigeria and came out clean not minding the allegations of APC that time. APC and Buhari embraced him and support for AfDB President.

Do you listen to those idiots? Whenever they smell an African with an African mind and ideology they fidget, wanting to blacklist the person. It's so sad what Africans are going through in the hands of these red heads. I admissible and absurd.

Nigerian

Wicked face

The question is why not stating the evidence you have against him after the investigation has been concluded?May be there more to this ....

For a country that funds coups all over the world them demanding probe on adesina is laughable. If white people don't like a black man that means that brother is doing something right. Let them investigate how Joe biden got his son a board membership in a Ukrainian company.

For what Is Africa US property

Africa Development Bank or United States Development Bank?

Do we tell them how to run the World Bank or the EU how to run IMF?

It's true that both countries are sovereign states but I strongly agreed with US governments because corruption have eating up the heart of our leaders

Why can't US mind there business

A clear conscience man fears no accusation. Men should never fight for the gods, let gods fight their own wars

What business does US have with AFDB? Africans always seeking validation from those who interest varies from theirs is why we would always be underdeveloped.

Unnecessary interference from US. Africa is sovereign please.

Even after Bank Committee on Ethics cleared him of any wrong doing? These people are jokers.

Who is U.S. candidate for the AFDB job... They shold5 leave Adesina alone. Man is an independent Africa with strong African conservative values.

Probe until they find him guilty. That's the logic here.

This man got connections with those Evil globalist cabals, do your research and you will find many clues, and pictures of him, with those evil men trying to depopulate our world. He got ties with Bill Gates and some others.

Ppl can't live without corruption

This guy as a shining Silver right now. An independent probe exonerating him would make him Pure Gold. Let them go ahead and probe him pls. That's how institutions get strength&respect. Not d ethnicity game we play in Nigeria.

What's concern US Africa development bank...pls

We all know Africa was built on scam foundation, anything new?

If he’s innocent no one should be worried. there should b another probe if a stakeholder demands it. We are used to be sentimental about everything in Nigeria.

Abi aye US fe baje ni

He is a gonner. Sorry. He is a good man but they have it in for him and he is gone bar the shouting. He will do well.

Fire on the mountain oh.

Good

Let me google who owns AfDevBank

If they will allow election to be free and fair, nobody will vote will want to vote APC in 2023

Well, an apple cannot fall far from the tree.
