Nigeria's Buhari backs Africa bank head despite US demands

ABUJA - Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari backed the head of the African Development Bank for re-election at a meeting Tuesday despite a US call for him to face a fresh ethics probe.

The Nigerian presidency said Buhari told Adesina at their meeting in Abuja that the country "will stand solidly behind" him in his bid to remain at the helm of the bank. He is the only candidate in an election which was set for late May but which has been postponed until August because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Nigeria’s Buhari... like seriously 😳?

ANALYSIS: Ramaphosa calls 11 lockdown deaths and 230,000 arrests an act of ‘over-enthusiasm’ – really!There is a breathtaking level of police violence in South Africa, and only Kenya and Nigeria have seen more people killed.

NDZMustFall johnspeaksforme ANCMustFall cyrilhasfallen These criminals in office are about to find out what ‘over enthusiasm’ means! And with which SANDF and SAPS behaviour CR himself was 'generally satisfied'. Diabolical.
