Adesina is having no one to challenge his re-election for another 5years tenure, although he recently survived an inquiry, following pressures from the United States government. Whistleblowers had accused Akinwumi of giving contracts to friends and appointing friends to senior positions.A panel of three experts was set up, consisting of Ireland’s ex-President Mary Robinson, Gambian Chief Justice Hassan Jallow and Leonard McCarthy, formerly the World Bank’s integrity vice-president. The panel backed the finding of the internal ethics committee that cleared Akinwumi of any wrongdoing.
