Adesina Considers Presidential Candidacy

Potential Presidential Bid by Adesina

Akinwumi Adesina, the outgoing President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), has indicated a willingness to serve Nigeria in any capacity, including the presidency, after his tenure concludes later this year. In a recent interview with Arise Television, Adesina emphasized his commitment to transforming lives and expressed openness to national service.

Reflecting on his identity, Adesina recounted his decision to retain his Nigerian citizenship despite opportunities abroad, stating, “God did not make a mistake in making me a Nigerian.”

While he has not officially declared his candidacy for the 2027 presidential election, his remarks have sparked discussions about his potential involvement in Nigeria’s political future. Adesina previously served as Nigeria’s Minister of Agriculture from 2010 to 2015 before leading the AfDB.
