Opinion: Akinwunmi Adesina: Africa’s Spotless Son, By Wole Olaoye
Or as Rudyard Kipling memorably said, “The strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack”. For once, Africa stood solidly behind Adesina and he did not disappoint them as his exoneration has now shown. I have always felt that only we can limit ourselves. If we bunch together in pursuit of developmental goals, we are unstoppable.
Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari, who stood solidly behind Adesina all through the orchestrated distraction, was quite elated at the prospect of greater development in Africa with Adesina at the helm of AfDB for another five-year term. He was confident that the investigation saga would “serve as impetus for more diligence in handling responsibilities, while fuelling the zeal to deliver on the promises of a greater Africa”.
As Africa stands up for its spotless son on the threshold of a well deserved second term, development experts are already envisioning the picture of where the continent will be in the next five years, as they are confident that all co-owners of AfDB will re-elect Adesina as president, affirming that one good term deserves another.
