Presidential Inaugural Lecture: Adesina hailed for speaking truth to power

Former minister of Agriculture and president, African Development Bank, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina has been commended for his thought-provoking speech at the inaugural lecture of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Reacting to the speech delivered at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Saturday May 27, public analyst and optometrist, Dr. Jeremiah E. Agoh described Adesina’s speech as “apt, thought-provoking, truth to power, and straight to the point.”

Agoh stated that the views and perspectives expressed by the ADB president shouldn’t have come at a better period in the nation’s history than now that a new government has been ushered in Nigeria, after eight years of Buhari at the helm.

Agoh, who has followed the activities of the Buhari administration over the years, hailed Adesina for his forthrightness and foresight in shaping the African Development Bank to the envy of other international financial institutions.

Elated about the giant strides Adesina has recorded at ADB, which is ranked as one of the most transparent financial institutions in the world, Agoh described the ADB president as one of the leading lights Nigeria has produced, stressing that he would always tell truth to power.

Goaded by an appreciative audience, Adesina had stated that the “election of a new president in every clime elicits hope. Therefore, Nigerians would be looking up to President Tinubu to guarantee security, peace and stability” of the nation.

The ADB president added that Nigerians both at home and in the Diaspora would expect the new president to heal and unite a fractious nation, and also rise above party lines and forge a compelling force to move the nation forward with inclusiveness, fairness, equity and justice.

Agoh, however, noted that the ADB president spoke truth to power when he told Tinubu that Nigerians are hoping that the economy would drastically improve, while a new wave of prosperity among Nigerians will begin.
