Recall that Adesina has been accused of breaching the bank’s code of ethics.

The allegations include various cases of alleged breaches of the code of conduct, unethical conduct, private gain, an impediment to efficiency, preferential treatment, and involvement in political activity, all affecting confidence in the integrity of the bank, according to U.S Treasury Secretary, Steven Mnuchin.

In a recent report, the bank denied reports that Akinwumi Adesina, President of the bank has been asked to resign.

Twitter folks were thrown into a fix.

He added "future"...

Take counsel together, it shall come to nought; speak, and it shall not stand: God is with us. Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom they shall say; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear & be your dread.

You are the best thing that has happened to the African Development Bank. Under you so much restructuring has happened in the bank and the financial base of the bank has more than doubled. A big congratulations. We also assure you that God will put your detractors to shame.
