AfDB election: People in authority have many things to learn from Adesina’s good qualities — TUC

THE Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) has congratulated Dr. Akinwumi Adesina on his re-election as African Development Bank (AfDB) president, declaring that people in authority, especially in Nigeria have many things to learn from the good qualities of Dr. Adesina.

President of TUC, Comrade Quadri Olaleye, said the Congress was particularly overjoyed with the report of the investigation panel that states that “Adesina was cleared of all controversial corruption charges after facing questions from a panel on the affairs of AfDB, hence, he was returned unopposed.”

He said: “As an organisation concerned and  interested in good governance, there are many lessons people in authority especially in Nigeria must learn from the good qualities of Dr. Adesina.

“Here is a man that understands his duty and is committed to doing it. As an ex-minister, he left a mark in the  sector he supervised. As a man of excellence whatever he touches he transforms, he does it with an acute sense of duty and commitment. His rare qualities are lacking in most people in government in Nigeria, nay Africa today.”

The Congress, however, advised Dr. Adesina to be cautious of the fake whistleblowers around, adding, “of course, it will be unwise to think that people who occupy such positions should not have enemies. It is obvious the smoke came from within; that is not to say he should start making enemies instead of doing his duties.”

There is the feeling today in power circles that because of the ascendancy of the Internet and its platforms of social engagements, the press as we knew it is now impotent and could be humiliated and called stupid without consequences. The truth of the media’s undying powers should be clear in what Femi just went through…
