President of African Development Bank (AfDB), Mr. Akinwunmi Adesina, has refuted claims that he has endorsed the candidature of National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for president of Nigeria.
Mr. Adesina’s Senior Advisor on Communications, Mr. Victor Oladokun, rejected the claims credited to his principal, saying the claims were “untrue, mischievous and fraudulent”.

Recall that Asiwaju Tinubu had, on Monday, said he was interested in succeeding President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023 and that he has told the president about his intention.
A photograph being circulated on social media contained a statement endorsing Tinubu and attributed to Adesina. But Oladokun insisted Adesina did not issue the statement.
“For the avoidance of doubt, no such statement or endorsement has been made by the President of AfDB,” Oladokun said.
