Please stop misleading people, the information is out there for you to read.Adesina didn't appoint any board. read below;

The Board of Governors is the highest decision-making organ of the Bank, composed of one Governor and one Alternate Governor appointed by each Member Country. Each Governor represents his or her country and exercises a voting power proportionate to the capital subscription of his or her country. Governors and Alternate Governors are generally Ministers of Finance, or Economic Planning, Central Bank Governors, or other high-ranking officials. They serve for a term of five years, subject to termination and reappointment by the member country.

The Governors and Alternate Governors of the Bank are ex officio Governors and Alternate Governors of the African Development Fund.

The Boards (of the Bank and Fund) of Governors holds an Annual Meeting usually in May to review the Bank’s operations, make major policy decisions and provide strategic guidance.

All the powers of the Bank are vested in the Board of Governors although it has delegated some of those powers to the Board of Directors except the power to:

Issue general directives concerning the credit policy of the Bank;
Decrease the authorized capital stock of the Bank;
Establish or accept the administration of Special Funds;
Authorize the conclusion of general arrangements for cooperation with the authorities of African countries which have not yet attained independent status or of general agreements for co-operation with African Governments which have not yet acquired membership of the Bank, as well as of such agreements with other Governments and
with other international organizations;
Elect the President of the Bank, suspend or remove him from office and determine his remuneration and conditions of service;
Determine the remuneration of Directors and their alternates;
Select outside auditors to certify the general balance sheet and the statement of profit and loss of the bank and to select such other experts as may be necessary to examine and report on the general management of the Bank;
Approve, after reviewing the report of the auditors, the general balance sheet and statement of profit and loss of the bank; and
Exercise such other powers as are expressly provided for that Board in the Bank Agreement.

The Board of Directors is headed by Adesina

The Board of Directors appoints members of Ethics Committee

Meaning, Adesina as Board Chairman appoints members of Ethics Committee.

Now USA Wants the Board of Governors to appoint an independent organization to probe the allegations against Adesina as no sane person can accept position of Ethics Committee appointed by Board of Directors

TonyeBarcanista:

This is to tell you that most Africans are not different from their corrupt leaders.

Ironically, citizens of the USA and Western countries that insist on independent probe are doing much better than those Africans supporting their corrupt elites.

i dont think Adesina is against further probe but some Nigerians are

TonyeBarcanista:
If you believe in accountability you will face accountability and not bambooze us with conspiracy theory


AfDB started as solely African but thr corrupt African elites couldn't manage it, the body went broke and open its doors for everyone

We are basically saying the same thing. The difference is on the approach.

Badguy89:


Secondly the Afdb has its laws that governs the bank. You can't request for actions out the constitution. If the board of governors cleared Adesina, then it was done in accordance with the law.

[/s]
You obviously do not know the difference between Board of Governors and Board of Directors.

Adesina is afraid of independent probe that is why he kept lobbying his corrupt godfathers to kick against it.

Let Adesina come out to say he is open for probe by independent organization to prove his innocence

PHijo:

True. You see for me, I am not interested in their political game but in the real truth.

Why should an organization not have place for independent probe as a form of checks? This same thing happened in FIFA.

For many years the top echelon at FIFA were accused of corruption but FIFA's internal bodies (appointed by same guys) keep clearing them of wrongdoing. It took many Years before neutral organisation stepped in, and led to the fall of Blatter, Platini and other top guys at FIFA.

Vedaxcool, if I'm to be in Mr Akinwunmi Adesina's shoes, I'll gladly submit myself for the independent probe because my integrity is at stake currently & for the stake of posterity, since a clear conscience fears no accusation.
BUT ON ONE CONDITION: The US of A MUST tender an open apology for all inconveniences IF I'm found innocent again.

Sometimes, to gain power, you have to accept defeat.

RuudVanNisteroy:
Tonye Barcanista-nice write up, I never knew your I.Q was this high. Why did you ever support Goodluck Jonathan?

The same Jonathan whose administration saw the emergence of Adesina as AfDB chair?

I got lots of mention and insults for siding with further probe but I think he is innocent, though I suspect he made a few mistakes that has been hyped to pull him down

My brother, innocence is not by innocent looks and polished Queen's English!

He should prove it by submitting himself to independent probe

If independent probe finds him innocent, he will be vindicated and he can even sue for tarnishing of his reputation...

But is he?

The political game interests me a lot! It will shape the future of Africa in no small way.

I do understand your stance but when it comes to things like this, I look at the broader picture.

This is how GEJ brought drunken sailor logic to Governance and very little understanding of international politics that he could not even import ordinary weapons PMB has been importing left right and centre

My Teacher use to say:

"Do the right thing if you don't want your enemies to get at you, and do the right thing if you don't want your friends to feel embarrassed while defending you. In all situation, do the right thing"

I think Mr Akinwunmi Adesina is scared of something.

How does this concern Jonathan and Buhari?

The US would tell you it did not originate the allegations it merely want them investigated. You need to understand how international politics works it is not like the ill conceived games that permeates this place.

Absolutely! .

This is what is happening in most institutions run by Africans

It shows GEJ leaves on through you, the same drab approach to governance.

There's something he's guilty of BUT doesn't want it to escalate.

vedaxcool:


The Governance structure of AfDB does not have a place for independent probe, one will expect that such a reputable organizations will have the integrity to self correct itself after all it's internal ethics committee was not composed of Africans only and had a Japanese as its head.

The US should simply learn to follow rules it signed up to, it has become customary for them to sign a document and go against it the moment it does not suit their interest, they signed the nuclear accord with Iran they violated it a d pulled out while still insisting Iran abides by its terms. They agreed to every security council resolutions dating as far back as the 60s on Israel and Palestine conflict notably amongst the one that rejects acquiring territory through armed conflict and forced displacement yet they are literally egging the Israelis on to violate all Security Council Resolutions. No sensible group of people should allow that sort of self serving narrow minded bigotry to guide any discussion about accountability and transparency, 2 qualities lacking in the current US administration.

We must support our thief INC

Adesina didn't appoint board of directors.Stop saying whats not Oga.

The African Development Bank (ADB)
The Board of Directors of the African Development Bank (ADB) comprises 20 members who are neither governors nor alternate governors. Thirteen members are elected by the governors of regional countries and seven by the governors of non-regional member countries. Directors are elected for a term of three years renewable once. Each director appoints an alternate, but no alternate, except the United States Alternate, may be of the same nationality as their director.

https://www.afdb.org/en/about-us/organisational-structure/board-of-directors

.......Furthermore, Mr Adesina cannot expect a country like the United States that has zero tolerance towards corrupt practices and gross misconduct, to rely on the report of AfDB's Ethics Committee that absolved him of any wrongdoing......

Please stick to analysing PDP vs APC as this is well beyond your pay grade.

Has he been accused of stealing? Do you even know what the allegations are? I shudder on the type of kids you will raise if you cannot take time to understand what the issues are. I thank God you clearly show you will stand with a racist to fight your country man over allegations that he has been cleared of.
