Adesina: African Lender Agrees On Independent Probe Of AfDB President by fergie001: 1:15pm On May 27, 2020 |
African Lender to Probe President Following U.S. Pressure The African Development Bank’s board agreed to an independent probe of its president, Akinwumi Adesina, after the U.S. rejected an internal investigation that cleared him of allegations of favoritism, according to two people familiar with deliberations on the matter. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bloomberg.com/amp/news/articles/2020-05-26/u-s-treasury-pressure-leads-to-new-probe-of-african-bank-chief 2 Likes 4 Shares

Why-on what basis? So because the US is the biggest shareholder in AfDB that now gives them the right to bully everybody around? Except if Akinwunmi Adeshina is truly guilty, the US is simply on a wild goose chase. 24 Likes 1 Share |

Having read Akinwumi Adesina's responses to each allegation made against him during first probe that cleared him, I am confident that he has nothing to fear on the part of integrity but I am not sure about the part of international politics. Imagine being accused of bribing President of ECOWAS countries in order to secure his 2nd term. But again, what do you expect when US, UK, Japan and likes have more investment stakes in Africa's developmental bank than the African countries themselves. My deduction from from US call for independent probe is that US and Western stakeholders are profiling Akinwumi Adesina as a Nigerian from the prism of corruption. Retaining Akinwumi Adesina as head of AfDB is a test for African Presidents to assert themselves. All eyes are on them. 45 Likes 2 Shares |

Racoon: The US is not the biggest shareholder in AfDB but the biggest non-African shareholder. Nigeria is the largest shareholder of the bank. https://www.afdb.org/en/news-and-events/nigeria-consolidates-position-as-african-development-banks-largest-shareholder-17755 The US is muzzling Adesina and there is really little or nothing that African leaders can do about it. Nordic nations that pledged to provide more funding for the bank are now in bed with US. Adesina may not survive this attack if the US continue this pressure. He will be sacrificed by African leaders. Hopefully, the independent investigation will truly be independent. That way, Adesina has nothing to fear. 25 Likes 1 Share |

America always bullying everybody around and always pushing around the little guy. ADB will be turned into a scapegoats and it’s objectives and aspirations relegated to the sands of time. The only way to save face is for Adesina to resign else he will be frustrated to his last days !! ADB is already a threat to IMF’s long term plans for Africa which is to truncate the development and continual enslavement of Nigeria and Africa at large through granting of spurious loans there selling generations unborn into eternal slavery! 18 Likes 2 Shares |

Racoon: Nigeria cannot fight the US alone. Africa leaders need to come together to save the bank from US and European control. AfDB is becoming too strong and providing support for African countries and the west are not happy about this. Adesina is also dismantling French control over the bank and indirectly over Francophone Africa countries. These are part of the reasons why they are against him. 35 Likes 3 Shares |
