The House of Representatives has urged the Board of African Development Bank (AfDB) to halt further harassment of the bank's President, Akinwumi Adesina.
According to the lawmaker, on May 8, 2015, a distinguished Nigerian and one time Minister of Agriculture, Mr Adesina, was elected the presumptive President of the bank, being the first Nigeria to hold the office.
Mr Elumelu said Mr Adesina has been very remarkable in steering the AfDB as its presence was highly visible and that it impacted much in less than five years.
The lawmaker said that Mr Adesina had remained Afrocentric and had insisted on the independence of the bank.
Nicholas Ossai (PDP-Delta) said that there was no true African that did not support how Mr Adesina had run the bank in the last four years.
