Vice President Yemi Osinbajo departed Abuja for Abidjan on Monday to represent President Muhammadu Buhari at the inauguration ceremony of Nigeria’s immediate past Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina, as the new President of the African Development Bank (AfDB).
The Vice President will speak at the event which will take place today, Tuesday September 1, 2015 at the Ivorian Capital City. He is expected to return to Abuja later today.
It would be recalled that President Buhari actively supported the candidature of the AfDB president-elect in a keenly contested election conducted in May this year even before the Buhari presidency assumed office.
