The Minority Caucus in the House of Representatives has congratulated former Minister of Agriculture, Dr. Akinwumni Adesina, on his re-election as the President of the African Development Bank (AfDB)
The Caucus in a statement by the Minority Leader of the House, Hon. Ndudi Elumelu, on Thursday, described Adesina’s reelection as well-deserved, given his commitment and track record of performance as the President of the AfDB.
“Indeed, as lawmakers, we are proud of Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina, whose performance, leading to his reelection as the President of the AfDB, has again reinforced the global respect for our country as well as the recognition of Nigerians excelling in all walks of national and international engagements”, Elumelu stated.
The Minority Leader also noted that Dr. Adesina, who excelled as the minister of agriculture under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) administration had continued in the ideals and performance-driven standards of the PDP, leading to his success in the AfDB.
The lawmaker also commended his colleagues for the resolution earlier passed to support Dr. Adesina’s re-election as well as governments of all African countries for passing vote of confidence on him.
