The President gave the assurance while hosting the AfDB President on a courtesy visit at the Presidential villa.
According to a statement issued by his media aide, Femi Adesina, President Buhari pledged that Nigeria would work with all other leaders and stakeholders in AfDB to ensure that Adesina is elected for a second term based on the record of his achievements during his first term.
The African Union had already endorsed the incumbent AfDB President as the sole candidate for the continent, but some other stakeholders have held the opinion that Adesina should be re-investigated over some allegations, and rendered ineligible to run.
